Let Down

You were the only one
I was the one who never tried
You were the one. the only one
I’ll build your hope — then make you cry
While others broke the rules
And everything is open
I build them up — I hide away
If no one would tell — no one would say
And self righteous lonesome’s still lonesome
Love of my life, where are you now?
No decisions left — it’s only sideways glances
If it tastes like shit — it’s probably shit
Re-use old ways to disappoint
Another set of claims — like open ended fear
These are the terms, or no return
These are the terms, or no return
And you, you believe far too much
You believe far too much in good
If there’s really no one
If there’s really no one
Love of my life, where are you now?
If I let you down — I let you down
I let you down — I let you down
And it is everything I never wanted
It’s everything you ever hoped for me…
And he’s the fool with the purity, self pity No one would tell — and no fool
would ever know
