[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
