Let You Down

I call it what it was
It was the summer that ended
And how the thoughtless defended me
I cool my eyes on the highway
And I know there's more than just my way to see
I was alive in battle
A kind of shadow
I know when sober I hide in colour
Caught in the gaze of your life
Amazing or lie
I know I'm sheltered from all that matters
I'm a raging fire
On my way down
But I recall it well
We made quite the sight
As the final piece of the puzzles find
If you were mine for a second, I
I woulda let you down
I'ma look in the ditch
For all that I thought was beauty
Maybe I threw out something that I need
I'll cool my eyes in the daylight
And I know that I can't speak right
I was a way to shatter
All that mattered
I know when sober I hide in colour
Caught in the rays in your eyes
Gaze in awe, I
I know I'm sheltered from all that matters
I'm a raging fire
On my way down
But I recall it well
We made quite the sight
And as the final piece of the puzzles find
If you were mine for a second, I
I woulda let you down
It's the state I'm in
And I won't come 'round
Until I take a fall
Until I lose it all
I could be with you
If it made any sense at all
If you were mine for a second
I'm certain I woulda done you wrong
