Back in the day when nothing really mattered to me
i only showed 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 wonand't let that one be me
cause i donand't want the drama it brings
see today isnand't back in the day anymore
i know a little more than i did before
so donand't forget before you start bringing me down
what goes around always comes back around
You canand't bring me down
till you hear what iand'm trying to say
you canand't bring me down
iand'll never turn the other way
you canand't bring me down
what is it youand're trying to say
you canand't bring me down
itand's not like iand'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 youand're trying to say
heand's sittin there saying satan thinks iand'm playing a game
so i canand't comprehend in my mind
just why we canand't leave it all behind
so come on and stand beside the border line
cause tonight is the night we climb
You canand't bring me down
till you hear what iand'm trying to say
you canand't bring me down
iand'll never turn the other way
you canand't bring me down
what is it youand're trying to say
you canand't bring me down
itand's not like iand'm running away
Why canand't we feel what itand's saying for us to be real
why canand't we see what itand's saying for us to believe
why do we say all of these things that bring us down
You canand't bring me down
till you hear what iand'm trying to say
you canand't bring me down
iand'll never turn the other way
you canand't bring me down
what is it youand're trying to say
you canand't bring me down
itand's not like iand'm running away
Itand's not like iand'm running away
You canand't bring me down
