Lyrics
What happened to me? I had so much potential
Everyone was sure that I would do something great
Next thing I knew, I was caught up with you
One thing led to another and now it's getting late, c'mon
You're holding me back
You're holding me back
I'm falling off the track
You're holding me back
I don't mean to come down hard on you
I know you only wanted to help with everything you give
But I am cynical, even of the best intentions
There's no free gifts in life, so let me start to live my way
You're holding me back
You're holding me back
I'm falling off the track
You're holding me back
I am kicking ass and raising hell
You will wish that you were saved by the bell
Watch me flexing all my reborn strength
To escape me, you would go any length
You're holding me back
You're holding me back
I'm falling off the track
You're holding me back
