Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot on the train
And I must be a masochist
To ever take up with you, James
[PreChorus]
It sounds familiar, that tone in your voice (Oh, oh)
You're gonna quit, James, you leave me no choice (Oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James
[Verse 2]
Well, it wasn't so long ago
I saw love in your eyes
And I think I should've known
But I'm feeling somewhat surprised
[PreChorus]
You think there's someone better for you (Oh, oh)
You think I'm too young to see this thing through (Oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James
[Bridge]
Ooh, let me down, do-do (Down, down)
Ooh, let me down, do-do (Let me down, down, down, down)
Ooh, let me down, do-do (Down, down)
Ooh, let me down, do-do (Let me down, down, down, down)
Ooh, let me down, do-do (Down)
[Verse 3]
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot out the door
And I don't think I should trust
That kind of love anymore
[PreChorus]
And now I realize I had it all wrong (Oh, oh)
I'll only take this trip for so long (Oh)
[Chorus]
Woah, James
Letting me down again, James
Guess it's goodbye again, James
Letting me down again
Letting me down again, James
