I'm Not Going Down Lyrics - Jo Dee Messina

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 

CHORUS: 

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 IM NOT GOING DOWN 

(IM NOT GOING DOWN NO NO) 

INSIDE OF ME IS THE ONLY 

HIGHWAY THAT LEADS TO A TRUE FREEDOM 

HOLDING OUT ITS HAND 

I CLOSE MY EYES AND ITS 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... 

REPEAT CHORUS 

I STILL GET DIZZY AND FRANTIC, LONELY AND PANICED 

BUT NEXT TIME I WONT LET IT BEAT ME, NO 

I CAN SEE CLEARLY, I KNOW WHO I AM 

AND THATS HOW I KNOW IVE BEGUN LIVING 

REPEAT CHORUS (OUT)
