Let You Down

She turned 21 in April
You know her birthday's the same as mine
When we first met, she'd never left Texas
She was young and so confused

She got caught up in the bright lights
The whiskey, pills, and all those late nights
And grom the mountain where we were standing
She fell so far that she could not see

And I was angry when I woke up
When I found out that we broke up
She packed her bags, she was gone before the sun
She left a letter on the table
Said catch me if you're able
But I'll be moving fast, and I'm still hard to find
So I won't call you and I won't follow
'Cause the truth is hard to swallow
Said I'd pick you up, but I only let you down

I heard from a friend you went back to Corpus
You always loved that ocean air
I know that you know that I'm headed down that way
Don't worry 'cause I won't call
It'd be strange for me to see you
You know there's so much left unsaid

Like I was angry when I woke up
When I found out that we broke up
She packed her bags, she was gone before the sun
She left a letter on the table
Said catch me if you're able
But I'll be moving fast, and I'm still hard to find
So I won't call you, and I won't follow
'Cause the truth is hard to swallow
Said I'd pick you up, but I only let you down
I said I'd pick you up, but I only let you down

I wrote you a letter while in Corpus
And it took everything I had
Went down to the pier and looked out across that bay
I took that letter then I watched it burn away

And I was angry when I woke up
When I found out that we broke up
She packed her bags, she was gone before the sun
She left a letter on the table
Said catch me if you're able
But I'll be moving fast, and I'm still hard to find
So I won't call you and I won't follow
'Cause the truth is hard to swallow
Said I'd pick you up, but I only let you down
I said I'd pick you up, but I only let you down
