You can't bring me down, you can't bring me down



Back in the day when nothing really mattered to me

I only saw with my eyes what they wanted to see

And everything around me seemed to never change

Looking for an easy way out, someone to blame

Why does it work this way, still today?

You wanna take somebody down along the way?

But I won't let that one be me, 'cause I don't want the drama it brings

See, today isn't "back in the day" anymore

I know a little more than I did before

So, don't forget before you try bringing me down

What goes around always comes back around



You can't bring me down

Do you hear what I'm trying to say?

You can't bring me down

I'll never turn the other way

You can't bring me down 

What is it you're trying to say?

You can't bring me down

It's not like I'm running away



So, you think you can see inside my mind? 

You probably could if you just took a little time 

I know exactly what you're trying to say

But sitting in the stands ain't the same as playing the game

So, I can't comprehend in my mind

Just why we can't leave it all behind 

So, come on and stand beside, and hold the line 

'Cause tonight is the night we cry 



Oh



Why can't we feel what it takes for us to be real?

Why can't we see what it takes for us to believe?

Why do we say all of these things that bring us down?



You can't bring me down
