[Verse 1]
He's not your prince, he's no fairy tale
No magic kiss, nothing behind the veil
There was a time when he would be the one daydreamin'
Of that tower in the air
And he rode up on his high horse and tried to save her
But she didn't seem to care
She was happy there

[Chorus]
Don't hold me down

[Verse 2]
To his surprise, she closed the door
She said goodbye, bye, and nothing more
And then the floor it disappeared from underneath his feet
He was fallin' from the skies
And as the wind rushed past his face
He felt the coolness as his body turned to ice

[Chorus]
Don't hold me down
Don't hold me down

[Bridge]
Heart hard like a stone
Falling cold, alone
Still waiting for the ground
Still waiting for the ground
[Instrumental]

[Outro]
There was a time when I would be the one daydreamin'
Of that tower in the air
Don't hold me down
