Coming Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's caving in around me
What I thought was solid ground
I tried to look the other way
But I couldn't turn around
It's okay for you to hate me
For all the things I've done
I've made a few mistakes
But I'm not the only one

[Pre-Chorus]
Step away from the ledge
I'm coming down

[Chorus]
I could never be what you want me to
You pull me under to save yourself (Save yourself)
You will never see what's inside of me
I pull you under just to save myself

[Verse 2]
Was there ever any question
On how much I could take?
You kept feeding me your bullshit
Hoping I would break
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone who cares?
Is there anybody listening?
Will they hear my final prayers?

[Pre-Chorus]
Step away from the ledge
I'm coming down

[Chorus]
I could never be what you want me to
You pull me under to save yourself (Save yourself)
You will never see what's inside of me
I pull you under just to save myself (Save myself)

[Bridge]
It's caving in around me
(Caving in)
It's tearing me apart
(Tearing me)
It's all coming down around me
(Coming down)
Does anyone, anyone care at all?

[Refrain]
I will never be what you want me to
You pull me under; I pull you under

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I could never be what you want me to
You pull me under to save yourself (Save yourself)
You will never see what's inside of me
I pull you under just to save myself
