Let Me Down

You stare down at carpet floors the
Silence, girl it's killing me
It feels like this can't be what love is
Or what it's supposed be

Cause all I knew was Audrey Hepburn
Timeless scenes in black and white
Credits roll and then just blackness
And I'm alone at night

I think the things I feel are gonna fade away
And my infatuation, it ain't gonna stay
But love's my choice, and I'm gonna make it if you'll do the same for me

I've never been so goddamn angry
Never let nobody close enough
It's the ones we love we end up hurting
They're always who hurt us

I thought you'd run back to Ohio
I didn't think you'd stick around
Cause I've been hurt and wonderin' why-o
I lost the love I'd found

I think the things I feel are gonna fade away
And my infatuation, it ain't gonna stay
But love's my choice, and I'm gonna make it if you'll do the same for me
So when you fall, I'll put you back on your feet
And when your friends are gone you know you'll always have me
I'll borrow, beg, and steal to keep you safe through the night, or to get you what you need

Babe the things that I feel... they're gonna fade
And my infatuation... ain't gonna stay
Because it can't stay

What you feel you're bound to lose but love is something you can choose
Why put my faith in movie screens, when all they've ever done for me is...
Let me down

If I can't treat you like someone that's real, that also feels the things I feel
Who knows they can but doesn't quit, and chooses to deal with my shit...
Let me down

And after all the credits roll, the theater is dark and cold
And the only thing that's left behind is you and I, no place to hide
Let me down let me down
