Let Me Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I think I might be a fortune teller I read your face just like a letter The funny thing about forever Is it comes with a side of never, never I can't buy into what you're sellin' And no, it's not that I don't want it Believe me, I'd love to close my eyes, enjoy the ride But you reek of indecision and I [Pre-Chorus] (I know, I know, I know) (I know, I know, I know) [Chorus] You're only gonna let me down When it counts, you'll count down You're only gonna turn me out As I burn, you'll burn out You're only gonna make me feel so crazy Right when I think we could be something You'll go and let me down Let me down, oh [Verse 2] I am too smart to let you in here But I'm just dumb enough to linger I wanna think that you'll be different Smoke and mirrors are so clever, clever I'll pretend that things aren't so bad That what you say will actually happen I've been dyin' to open my eyes See you try instead of always leaving me out to dry [Pre-Chorus] (I know, I know) [Chorus] You're only gonna let me down When it counts, you'll count down You're only gonna turn me out As I burn, you'll burn out You're only gonna make me feel so crazy Right when I think we could be something You'll go and let me down Let me down, oh [Bridge] (I need) I need you to be there when you say you're gonna be (I care) I care too much and you care enough to leave (I want) I want some place to rest my head without worrying It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair It's not fair to me 'Cause I know, I know [Chorus] You're only gonna let me down (Let me down) When it counts, you'll count down You're only gonna turn me out (You're only gonna turn me out) As I burn, you'll burn out You're only gonna make me feel so crazy (You're only gonna make me feel so crazy) Right when I think we could be something (We could be something) You'll go and let me down (You'll go and let me down) Let me down (Let me down) You're only gonna let me down When it counts, you'll count down You're only gonna turn me out As I burn, you'll burn out [Outro] You're only gonna make me feel so crazy Right when I think we could be something (We could be something) You'll go and let me down Let me down, oh
