Let Me Down (Stripped)

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
