Let Me Down
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.
I know you, I need you
I had you,
Did I let you down?
You come and you go
I wait but never really know
Mhm, did I ever know?
Don't let me down
Don't you let me down
On and on, even the good die young
Heavy hands, scupper the best laid plans
On and on, ever the foolish one
Who says what he wants
But he wants what he can't understand
Unfolding, strung out
I'm holding on, you're holding out
(Mhhmm)
Don't kiss me, don't lie
You ask for freedom then you cry
Oh, did I ever lie?
Don't let me down
Don't you let me down
On and on, even the good die young
Heavy hands, scupper the best laid plans
On and on, ever the foolish one
Who says what he wants
But he wants what he can't understand
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't you let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
