Let Me Down (Stripped) Lyrics

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

Because 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

Oh let me down, let me down

Don't ya know, don't ya know, don't ya know, you can let me down
