Let Us Down
Lyrics
You said I got too many tattoos on my arms
Since the last time that I saw you, I think I done screwed up my heart
Then again, it wasn’t too far from falling apart
You said, I got too many tattoos on my arms
Last time I saw you, I don’t think your eyes looked so grey
Who’s the reason behind all those lines on your face?
And I know the truth is the last thing that you’d say
Last time I saw you, I don’t think your eyes looked so grey
You didn’t know it, but I was falling in love with you
I know you’re married, and there’s not much I can do
I had to leave, and I couldn’t stand this town
But you made the better choice ‘cause I’d have only let you down
You don’t look too happy, but who I am to judge?
I hear of a problem, and I’m the very first one to hit it and run
It got real old drinking when you’re drinking just to have fun
You don’t look too happy, but who am I to judge?
You didn’t know it, but I was falling in love with you
I know you’re married, and there’s not much I can do
I gotta leave, and you don’t wanna hang around
One more night, and I know you’d only let me down
I can’t remember if your hair was brown, maybe it was black
Whenever you were around, my mind got a little too far off track
And you took an innocence that I’ll never get back
I can’t remember if your hair was brown, maybe it was black
You didn’t know it, but I was falling in love with you
I know you’re married, and there’s nothing I can do
I gotta leave, but I don’t gotta leave right now
One more night, and you know I’d love to lay you down
Lay you down
Lay you down
Lay you down
