Story Behind The Song

I was talking to my ex on the phone and she was explaining why she didn't want to get back with me. So I made Held Me Down based off the information she gave me and tried to explain my side of the story. She never lets me talk so I figured I could get my point across in song. We're still not together.

Song Description

Held Me Down is an emotional ride. It's a story about how wrong I was towards my love interest. Held Me Down is meant to give insight of the person who was being toxic in the relationship and understanding the wrong doings of his actions. Held Me Down gives the audience a new perspective on breakups. Rather explaining the victim side of the breakup, I wanted to explore the side of the wrongdoer.

Lyrics

You held me down like a real one, didn't understand it, then took everything we had for granted
It was selfish on my end
You held me down like a real one, didn't understand it, then took everything we had for granted
It was selfish on my end

I was childish around my friends, not considering your feelings
You picked me up when I fell down
I'd disappear unless you naked
Once you left, it was soul breaking, knowing I won't find a replacement
Them good times, I can't erase it
It was nights filled with passion
One more mistake, then you done
I didn't listen to your expression
I should have known you were serious when you stopped all that nagging
Now I'm out here looking dumb, walking around filled with aggression
Knowing I'm the one who's toxic, you still my biggest obsession

You held me down like a real one, didn't understand it, then took everything we had for granted
It was selfish on my end
You held me down like a real one, didn't understand it, then took everything we had for granted
It was selfish on my end

I'm tripping now that I got all this baggage
I'm sipping fast, my mode turning savage
Catch you with the someone, I'm putting foot to asses
I'm looking goofy the way I'm out of character
Blowing up your phone, hello operator
She must got me stored under the bill collector
This conversation was a fact checker
I guess I gotta come a little more correcter
Homie saying let her go, I can't help I like her
I mean like her, like her, like I want to wife
Anybody try to touch her, I turn to snipers
I get her hype, and she gets me hyper
It could have been different, but things occur
Stomped over your heart, and it touched the nerve
Because of me, you lost the words
My heart in pain, I should have seen your worth

You held me down like a real one
Didn't understand it
Then took everything we had for granted
It was selfish on my end
You held me down like a real one
Didn't understand it
Then took everything we had for granted
It was selfish on my end
