Not Going Down lyrics

(Shaunna Bolton/Kevin Savigar)

I woke up today with a headache
More bills to pay than a corporation
Hey, when will it end
My mirror says I could use a break
An easy day, some appreciation
Hey how `bout a friend
When days like these start to fall in on me
I gotta face my reflection and say...hey

Chorus:
Been burned by the fire
Been stuck under water
Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around
Been tossed like a free throw
Knocked out when the wind blows
Pull the curtain on the hurtin`
`Cause I`m not going down
(I`m not going down no no)

Inside of me is the only
Highway that leads to a true freedom
Holding out it`s hand
I close my eyes and it`s all right
The sun will shine on a new horizon
Just around the bend
Days like these bring out the strength in me
So I can face my reflection and say...

Repeat chorus

I still get dizzy and frantic, lonely and paniced
But next time I won`t let it beat me, no
I can see clearly, I know who I am
And that`s how I know I`ve begun living

Repeat chorus (out)
