about

Of course, our hero’s journey is all too often less than heroic, courage only evident when we can say... ‘I Let You Down’.

lyrics

I let you down
I tripped and you did the falling
I was a fool
And what I did was appalling
You gave my life some meaning
I let you aim for the ceiling
You did nothing wrong
You don't deserve what you're feeling
I let you down

You let me go
I left but I heard you calling
You were a fool
You tried without ever knowing
I'd let you aim for the ceiling
But wouldn't care what you're feeling
I let you down
You let me go

I have to live with what I've done
I can't undue what I've become
I don't have words to make amends
It's not enough to just be friends

We let it die
We saw but we never knew it
We were such fools
We tried but couldn't see through it

You gave my life some meaning
I let you aim for the ceiling
You did nothing wrong
You don't deserve what you're feeling
I let you down
