Let Me Down

Lost in the disarray
I'm just not myself today
So close to the edge
I might just break
All my failures on display as I pour out the cabernet
And to say that I can change is just so cliché
Close my eyes and lay
Hidden in the nightshade
Strangled in sheets of suede
I never learned to walk away

You don't know how far I fell, well I've been lost in hell
It's the secrets I don't tell that keep me drownin' in the wishing well

How can I be safe and sound
I don't wanna drown
No I can't let me down
I just wanna be proud
How can I be safe and sound
I don't wanna drown
No I can't let me down

I'm a ways off course
Insecurities seep through my pores
Tryna' find keys to these unseen doors
It's an endless war
When it rains it pours
For forty days or more
Once again I melt through the floor
Fallen to the things that I ignore

You don't know how far I fell, well I've been lost in hell
It's the secrets I don't tell that keep me drownin' in the wishing well

How can I be safe and sound
I don't wanna drown
No I can't let me down
I just wanna be proud
How can I be safe and sound
I don't wanna drown
No I can't let me down

I'm just a sinner in need of a savior
As cold as the winter with destructive behavior
And I know, I know better but still I wonder
Can I weather the pain from the times I fell under?
I just wanna go home
Crawl in bed and be alone
I'm just turnin' to stone
It's all I've ever known

And I can't let me down
No I don't wanna drown

You don't know how far I fell, well I've been lost in hell
It's the secrets I don't tell that keep me drownin' in the wishing well

How can I be safe and sound
I don't wanna drown
No I can't let me down
I just wanna be proud
How can I be safe and sound
I don't wanna drown
No I can't let me down, yeah

And I can't let me down
No I don't wanna drown, no
