There was a time I said I loved you,
A time I thought you cared
A time when things were flowing,
But now I'm lost for words

I tried so hard to understand,
In silence and emotion
You take my smiles away from me
With your careless notions

Will you bring me down
Will you lift me up
Will you lift me up

[Chorus] I want to be me
When the night is fading,
Morning's waking

Didn't do what you were supposed to
Do when you said you would do
Holding on while all along
I was scared to say goodbye

Those days have gone,
The time has come now
For me to draw the line
My mind is made up baby
I won't play your game

[Chorus]

Will you bring me down
Will you lift me up

I want to be me
