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
