I'll Let You Down

You think we have it all

Everything is locked up real tight

But there are things that I must confess

And no longer hide

History I'm doomed to repeat

Deceit I don't wanna defeat you

But when things turn bad you know

I'm only gonna wanna breeze through

I'll never get out

I'll never leave this town

You know I'm gonna let you down

I'm sorry but I'll let you down

Don't need to look in no mirror

Fears reflected in your eyes

And I never claimed to be wise

Everyone can't tell the same lie

I got the training but

There's no explaining

My flawed psychology

But those letters and all the definitions

Hardly make an apology

You know I'm gonna let you down

And you know I don't wanna defeat you

If I could change I'd do it now

But you know next time around

I'd still let you down

Maybe I'll creep back someday

And return to the scene of the crime

But I wouldn't take that gamble

Some things don't change with time

Some day I almost wish

I shared your romantic notions

Those days I want your kiss

But I can't share your devotion
