Bring Me Down

(Written by Amanda Behan and Michael Ryan Fuller)

In my dreams

I'm chasing after you

And I'm pretending

My dreams are comin' true

But I can't wake up

I thought it was a fantasy

I thought it was over

But this is really me

You lift me up

To bring me down

Does it make you smile

When I'm on the ground

This ride I'm on 

Goes round and round

And baby all you do

Is bring me down

I get dizzy

Try to stand up again

But you come around

And I'm gone with the wind

I let my dreams go

As yours all come true

And the only thing I have

Is myself hating you

You lift me up

To bring me down

Does it make you smile

When I'm on the ground

This ride I'm on 

Goes round and round

And baby all you do

Is bring me down

I can't do this anymore

Like it or not, I'm gone

My dreams are waiting

It's been too f**kin' long

You lifted me up

To bring me down

Did it make you smile

Me laying on the ground

This ride is over

I can't go another round

Cuz baby all you did

Was bring me down

I cannot take credit for writing this song. My friend Amanda sent me a few sentences that she had written, and after a few days, I sat down and tried to put them to lyrics. What I came up with resonated with me, and I'm hoping it will do the same with whoever's reading this. It's a very powerful and scary feeling to feel trapped - like there's no way out. Hopefully when you read this, you'll see you're not alone.
