Picture me, on stage as the final act
Wish I could say that they saved the best for last
Picture this, the curtain begins to fall
But not before blunt objects are thrown at me

Hold me down no more

Picture me in the spotlight all by myself
My visions obscured by the bright lights above me
Picture this I stumble until I fall
I leave it to you to rain on my parade

Hold me down no more

And I see you
One with the audience making it obvious
This isn't where I belong
And I know that the show must go on
So I'll swallow my pride and wait for these curtains to fall
To fall¦

Hold me down no more

And I see you
One with the audience making it obvious
This isn't where I belong
And I know that the show must go on
So I'll swallow my pride and wait for these curtains to fall

And I see you
One with the audience making it obvious
This isn't where I belong
