You Let Me Down

You, evergreen, the fire in my past
Can’t run free if I keep looking back
It’s a lost cause
It’s a bad bet
It’s a storm but
Gotta face it

Oh, I
I love you but you let me down
Yeah, oh, I
I love you but you let me down

The last time for an eternity
You’re only mine when I am on my feet
You’re elusive
And it kills me
Inconclusive
Never ending

Oh, I
I love you but you let me down
Oh, I
I love you but you let me down

And I’ll go as fast as I can
No time for a moment to myself
And I’ll go as fast as I can
I swear on my life it’s for the best

And I might call you
On your birthday
Cover words I wanted to say
With some small talk
And I’ll tear up
But I’ll go on
And I’ll hang up
Before I can say

I love you but you let me down
Oh, I
I love you but you let me down

And I’ll go as fast as I can
No time for a moment to myself
And I’ll go as fast as I can
I swear on my life it’s for the best

Though our moment
Kept us waiting
I will keep it
Keep it sacred
Like it’s golden
Wish you nothing
But an exhale
And I’m hoping
You hear when I say

I never meant to let you down
Oh, I
I love you but you let me down
