Don’t Let Me Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I watch your lips moving I see the words taking shape But love's like a language I cannot translate I can't afford to be careless And let you in I turn my head for one minute And lose everything [Pre-Chorus] Wish I had someone on whom I could lean 'Cause everybody's always counting on me [Chorus] With my hands held real tight Always ready to fight For the few pieces of joy I have now You have turned on a light And I've lost my sight But my heart still remembers the sound Of a dream of a love one day found Of a dream of a love one day found So don't let me down [Verse 2] Your past it may be rocky But your present is clear My present situation Is the sum of all my fears I take responsibility for the few things I done right But I got so much on my plate I'm scared to take another bite [Pre-Chorus] Wish I had someone on whom I could lean Still I don't want no one's charity [Chorus] With my hands held real tight Always ready to fight For the few pieces of joy I have now You have turned on a light And I've lost my sight But my heart still remembers the sound Of a dream of a love one day found [Bridge] Heartbreak and bullets can try To steal any good from my life Fathers and lovers have lied Rivers have flowed from my eyes Never seen love face to face Just seen it walking away Why would you think I would recognize Something that's never been mine [Outro] You have turned on a light And I've lost my sight But my heart still remembers the sound Of a dream of a love one day found You're the dream of a love one day found And the freedom from what kept me bound And a promise of staying around My eyes may not work for me now But my heart sure remembers the sound (Remembers) So if you're saying it, please say it loud And don't let me down
