You Let Me Down

You, evergreen, the fire in my past
Can't run free if I keep lookin' 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, yeah, oh, I, 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
I love you but you let me down
Yeah, yeah, oh, I, 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
No, no, oh, I, I, 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, oh, I
I love you but you let me down
