Won't Let You Down

They say you can't love and be wise, but I can pretend

With you, if suddenly I ever have to surrender you

I'd fall in a heap, I'd fall on the floor

And crawl on all fours, for you I'd fall on my sword

If grief ever darkened my door, you'd light it up

The way you brighten up a room hits me right in the chest

It puts the breath inside of my lungs

It's like I lept in the light of the sun

And in spite of my weary frown

You wear a smile that wears me down

So hear me out, I know that I wasted time

When I should've been replacing your last name with mine

And that mistake is mine, believe me

I wear it like a sunburn, it might disappear but it won't leave me

I'll carry you on my shoulders, never set you down

Ferry you through the coldness, never let you downI won't let you down, won't let you down again

I won't let you down, won't let you down againTravelling man in the back of a van

Capturing sands like time through the back of my hand

If I could hold her for a moment, do a lap of this land

I'd console you for a moment, then be back in a glance

But I'm so far since we left for the road

Chicks I've seen around the heavens and globe

Searching for the next episode

Problem is, in letting it go

Be like letting go of everything you treasure and know

And whenever I go, I think my chest will explode

No matter where your heart at, brain leaves death in the crew

Try and understand, where I lay my head is my home

And I was in love, before this rap shit was ever in vogue

But if you feel that you're ever alone

While standing in the same room as me

Let's set it in stone

You can't save me, acquainted to this devilish road

But you're bravely willing to give a hell of a go

SoI won't let you down, won't let you down again

I won't let you down, won't let you down againI hate that I was wasted your touch, your taste

My shame, can't change, want you to remain

My angel, my heartbeat, come closer, I'm sorry

My soul is, yours truly, you know thisAnd you know that I

Won't be shy, talking bout what you're giving me

Conflict diamond, you shine through the misery

You walk in a room and light it up, that's just with your entry

You walk in a room and light it up, like it was four twenty

Some people never find out what they have

Only ever find out what they had

And I could've been one of them, don't know if I still won't

And that thought hangs around my neck like a millstone

For real though, it's like I lost you, left you, let you go

Before I got to get you, or let you know

That you're my refuge and I need you to see

The only one I let down more than you is meAnd I won't let you down, and I won't let you down

I won't let you down, won't let you down again

I won't let you down, I won't let you down again
