Jo Dee Messina - Not Going Down lyrics

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 hurting

'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 its hand (holding out its and)

I close my eyes and it's all right

The sun will shine on a new horizon

Just around the bend (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 hurting

'Cause I'm not going down

I still get dizzy and frantic, lonely and paniced

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 hurting

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 hurting

I'm not going down
