I've Been Up These Years Letra

it was the worst time the first time it ever went sour things fell apart too soon I was so let down I learned then to never go back I?ve been once only once, never reconnect me its better done bet- ter seen it's sinking so I?ll get out alive it could be the death of me. there's no reason to hold on I never fall down because I never get dizzy it might be bitter or whatever it's nothing I can't wash my hands of anyhow, never reconnect me it's better done better seen it's sinking so I?ll get out alive it could be the death of me. it's so useless, so useless the burn will be there I?m not fooling myself I won't regret it forget it I?ll never go back I?ll never turn back no. I?ve been held, held down too long it won't hold very long. I?ve been held, held down too long. It?s nothing that I can't escape.
