Let Down

Let Down

I guess I let you down again, didn't I?
I fought so hard just to hold on, while I preached to let it go
Locked my heart inside this cage, while singing love is all
It's so damned easy to show the way, why can't I follow it?

It was another time, another place
The fog of memory, I can't even see your face
But the tears in your eyes will haunt me to my grave

I guess I let you down again, doesn't it seem
Like all I do is make amends, hurt my friends
So scared of being hurt again, so scared of ending up numb
Now that I've finally found that love we used to sing about

But I can still see the tears in your eyes
As we sang out to the world, our final goodbyes
Why can't I just let your memory die?

I guess I let you down again, big surprise
I let you go, I have moved on, but sometimes I
Can't help but bring your memory back up, one last time
The pain has healed at last, but some things never die
