Lyrics
Blackout
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.
Asking, permission denied
To self medicate this way once in a while
Aren't you afraid of everything
Your love so ??? you can't appreciate anything
Down on the sofa with a record running
Baby i can't help letting you down
Letting you down
Letting you down
Got your rejection, denied, crying
Coming apart right here before your eye
You aren't disappointed, are you now
I'm still listening, just tell me what you want
I won't feel a thing, just tell me what you want
Leaving you alone wasn't my decision
Baby it's not easy letting you down
Letting you down
Letting you down
