Lyrics:

If I were to walk a hundred miles
If I were a stranger from another land
What would you say, what would you do
Would you lend me your hand?
Though I try to make you smile
At times I bring you no harmony
From where I stand, my point of view
I just want you to be happy
Chorus:
I won't hold you down
I won't hold you down
I will let you go, I won't pull you back
I think you know me better than that
I won't hold you down
I know I'm away most of the time
And I'm sorry for the price you've paid
If you must go, I'll understand
Please believe me when I say
Chorus:
I won't hold you down
I won't hold you down
I will let you go, I won't pull you back
I think you know me better than that
I won't hold you down
How you feel, and the road you choose
I hope that you succeed
But I thank you for the time we shared
And I'm sorry that you have to leave
Chorus:
I won't hold you down
I won't hold you down
I will let you go, I won't pull you back
I think you know me better than that
I won't hold you down
