Not Going Down

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, hey
 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
 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, hey, hey, hey
 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
 I still get dizzy and frantic, lonely and panicked
 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
 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' I'm not going down
 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' I'm not going down
