So now that everybody’s gone
You see no change has come
In every song you’ve ever sung

You find the words were wrong

But now the time is gonna come

And there’s no feeling lost
For everyone who could’ve 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’s no compromise
For anyone you coulda saved
But never recognized

And now your worries gonna fall
But I won’t help at all
For everyone who sees the place

Who knows they can’t 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’ve taken away
Much more than you gave
What keeps me down

I’m lost in a rage
No one can explain
What keeps me down

What keeps you down

So now that everybody’s gone

You see no change has come
In every song you’ve ever sung
You find the words were wrong


And every paper that you read
You feel your spirit grieve

For everyone who’s 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’ve taken away
Much more than you gave

What keeps me down
I’m lost in a rage
No one can explain

What keeps me down
What keeps you down
