So now that everybody抯 gone
You see no change has come
In every song you抳e ever sung
You find the words were wrong

But now the time is gonna come
And there抯 no feeling lost
For everyone who could抳e loved
And made me not to love

And all the time
I thought your words were mine
You held me down
As sure as the sun
You held me down
As sure as the sun

Now I could see into your eyes
But there抯 no compromise
For anyone you coulda saved
But never recognized
And now your worries gonna fall
But I won抰 help at all
For everyone who sees the place
Who knows they can抰 belong

And all the time
I thought your words were mine
You held me down
As sure as the sun
You held me down
As sure as the sun

You抳e taken away
Much more than you gave
What keeps me down
I抦 lost in a rage
No one can explain
What keeps me down
What keeps you down

So now that everybody抯 gone
You see no change has come
In every song you抳e ever sung
You find the words were wrong

And every paper that you read
You feel your spirit grieve
For everyone who抯 gonna fall
The distance another leaves

And all the time
I thought your words were mine
You held me down
As sure as the sun
You held me down
As sure as the sun

You抳e taken away
Much more than you gave
What keeps me down
I抦 lost in a rage
No one can explain
What keeps me down
What keeps you down
