Not Going Down

Holding out it's hand

So I can face my reflection and say, hey, hey, hey

When days like these start to fall in on me
Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around
My mirror says I could use a break
Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around
I'm not going down
I still get dizzy and frantic, lonely and panicked
Pull the curtain on the hurtin' 'cause I'm not going down

Days like these bring out the strength in me
Been tossed like a free throw, knocked out when the wind blows
Inside of me is the only
Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around
Hey, when will it end?

Been burned by the fire, been stuck under water
Pull the curtain on the hurtin' 'cause I'm not going down
Been tossed like a free throw, knocked out when the wind blows
But next time I won't let it beat me, no
I'm not going down
Been burned by the fire, been stuck under water

I gotta face my reflection and say, hey, hey
And that's how I know I've begun living
I close my eyes and it's all right
Been burned by the fire, been stuck under water
Been tossed like a free throw, knocked out when the wind blows
Been burned by the fire, been stuck under water
Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around
Hey how 'bout a friend?
Just around the bend

Been tossed like a free throw, knocked out when the wind blows
An easy day, some appreciation
The sun will shine on a new horizon
I can see clearly, I know who I am
Highway that leads to a true freedom

Pull the curtain on the hurtin' I'm not going down
