Bring Me Down - Chris Middleton

Lyrics:

Seems like I'm always tryin' to be someone,
Tryin' so hard to rewrite what I've done,
But you know that you can't go back -
You've got to soldier on.

When you don't laugh I feel like such a clown,
So I'll retreat and I won't make a sound.
Seems I only ever make you frown -
No, I won't just let you bring me down (x2).

Been up since half past two, but I can't get up,
Don't know which way to walk and the road's too rough.
You say you need me now so you have returned
I'm sorry but you're none of my concern
You know you left me here to drown and now I'm on my own -
No, I won't just let you bring me down. (x2)

And now I see you without all your armor,
You're struggling just to make ends meet.
But when I ask you if we could turn a corner,
You roll your eyes, laugh and say:
"Yeah right - in your dreams."
Even in your misery, you haven't changed a bit you see.
So even though I'd like to help you get back on your feet...

If wishing wells were true I'd be destitute,
Longing for you is like forbidden fruit,
And you have tempted me at every turn,
But now I'm careful after what I have learned.
You know you left me here to drown and now I'm on my own -
No, I won't just let you bring me down. (x2)
