(Verse 1)  I know I've become  what you have always feared I'd be  A selfish wish I've known  Will lead me far from amnesty    (Prechorus)  Still you think that I don't have the strength to find my way  Without you next to me I can honestly say    (Chorus)  You're holdin me back   From what I believe  This dream that I wish  Will finally be  Cause you're holdin me down  When I try to see my way from you  Now you know..    (Verse 2)  When I finally saw a chance I ducked out instantly  I left without a trace and pray that you by chance don't see    (Prechorus 2)  Still you think that I don't have the strength to find my way   Instead of testing me you should truthfully say    (Chorus)    (Bridge)  Away, you don't go away  You won't go away  You don't seem to realize that  My eyes behold your useless scheme  To bring me to my wounded knees  My silence is but a pause to make  Your eyes finally see    (Chorus)
