[Verse 1]

When you're trying to tell me I'll never make it

When you want to show me how

Always you could be my shelter

I can't think with you around



[Pre-Chorus]

So go

Can you let me go, go

Can you let go

It's time to say goodbye and turn around

And close the door

Don't think just walk away and forget me

It's like it was before



[Chorus]

Cause you can't help but hold me down

When you're feeling helpless without the hand of another

I can't understand why you'd want to guard that love

You can't help but hold me down

When you're feeling helpless without the hand of another

I can't understand why you'd want to guard that love



[Verse 2]

When you're trying to keep me back with your doubting

When you're never going to say you're proud

And I don't know how to keep it going

Wish it could work with you somehow

Wish it could work with you somehow



[Chorus]

Cause you can't help but hold me down

When you're feeling helpless without the hand of another

I can't understand why you'd want to guard that love

You can't help but hold me down

When you're feeling helpless without the hand of another

I can't understand why you'd want to guard that love



[Verse 3]

When you're trying to keep me back with your doubting

When you're never going to say you're proud

And I don't know how to keep it going

Wish it could work with you somehow

Wish it could work with you somehow

Could work with you somehow

Wish it could work with you somehow

Hey



[Chorus]

Cause you can't help but hold me down

When you're feeling helpless without the hand of another

I can't understand why you'd want to guard that love

You can't help but hold me down

When you're feeling helpless without the hand of another

I can't understand why you'd want to guard that love
