I Let You Down

[piano-like electronic intro] [Intro – quiet guitar] I tried to keep you safe I only made it worse [Verse 1 – restrained] I saw you slipping I watched you fade I said I'd fix it But I walked away I kept the silence I played along I knew something was wrong But I waited too long [Pre-Chorus – building] I thought I was protecting you I didn't know what else to do [Chorus – emotional] I LET YOU DOWN WHEN YOU NEEDED ME I LET YOU DOWN AND I COULDN'T SEE I LET YOU DOWN I TURNED AWAY NOW ALL THE THINGS I NEVER SAID ARE ALL I HAVE TO SAY [Verse 2 – rhythmic, restrained] I remember your voice I remember the sound But every time I reach for it The memory breaks down Was it you who disappeared? Was it me who let you go? I keep searching through the pieces For something I should know [Pre-Chorus – stronger] I thought I was protecting you Maybe I was protecting me [Chorus – bigger] I LET YOU DOWN WHEN YOU NEEDED ME I LET YOU DOWN AND I COULDN'T SEE I LET YOU DOWN I TURNED AWAY NOW ALL THE THINGS I NEVER SAID ARE ALL I HAVE TO SAY [Bridge – stripped] If I could go back I'd never close that door [Pause] If I could hear you I'd listen this time [Build] I'M LISTENING NOW! [Final Chorus – full power] I LET YOU DOWN WHEN YOU NEEDED ME I LET YOU DOWN NOW I FINALLY SEE I LET YOU DOWN I TURNED AWAY BUT IF YOU'RE STILL SOMEWHERE INSIDE— [Pause] I'M NOT WALKING AWAY [Outro – quiet] I'm not walking away...
