So now that everybodys gone

You see no change has come

In every song youve ever sung

You find the words were wrong



But now the time is gonna come

And theres no feeling lost

For everyone who couldve 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 theres no compromise

For anyone you coulda saved

But never recognized

And now your worries gonna fall

But I wont help at all

For everyone who sees the place

Who knows they cant 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



Youve taken away

Much more than you gave

What keeps me down

Im lost in a rage

No one can explain

What keeps me down

What keeps you down



So now that everybodys gone

You see no change has come

In every song youve ever sung

You find the words were wrong



And every paper that you read

You feel your spirit grieve

For everyone whos 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



Youve taken away

Much more than you gave

What keeps me down

Im lost in a rage

No one can explain

What keeps me down

What keeps you down
