You and me been over this ground
Over this ground before
I can't explain
I can't explain
I can't explain anymore
Oh it's hard to watch you go
I'm down but it won't last long
I'm down but it won't last long
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down like this
It's not the same
Over and over
Over and over again
Yeah, this is not my day
I'm down but it won't last long
I'm down but it won't last long
Half my brain has gone away
Half my brain has gone
So far away
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down again
Don't shake me up
Don't burn me out
I'm hurt and you won't let me in
Yeah, this is not my day
I'm down but it won't last long
I'm down but it won't last long
