[Verse 1]
I can hardly see the light
And I just can't believe I'm stalking the same place
Holding on for something good
Holding back the tears

[Pre-Chorus]
But how am I supposed to learn when I'm not able to help?
And what am I supposed to do when it's all up in my head?
Like a prison it's pulling me down
You can take what you want, but you won't like what you get
So how am I supposed to learn when I'm not able to help?

[Chorus]
Down, pulling me down, pulling me down
Down, pulling me down, pulling me down
Like a prison, it's pulling me down
You can take what you want, but you won't like what you get
So how am I supposed to learn when I'm not able to help?
[Able to help]
[Pulling me down]

[Verse 2]
I know that I need to fight
And I can still believe there's hope in a dark place
Holding on to something good
Holding back the tears
[Pre-Chorus]
But how am I supposed to learn when I'm not able to help?
And what am I supposed to do when it's all up in my head?
Like a prison, it's pulling me down
You can take what you want, but you won't like what you get
So how am I supposed to learn when I'm not able to help?

[Chorus]
[Pulling me down]
Like a prison, it's pulling me down
Pulling me down, pulling me down
Down, pulling me down, pulling me down

[Outro]
I can hardly see the light
And I just can't believe I'm stalking the same place
Holding on to something good
Holding back the tears
