Lyrics
Going Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I think of all the times
I felt so low
When I got to feeling better
I got naive
and thought that it would stay
Going down
Going down again
Feeling small, very small
All, all the time
Been feeling like this
Since junior high
When will it all stop
Going down
Going down again
Think that I once had it all [-a-ha-hall ]
There's a man inside me
I'm gonna destroy
And he will be no more
He'll be dead and I'll be free
I'll unlock that door
Going down
Going down again
