Let You Down

Oh before we got too high above the ground
Suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down

Oh well, the longer that we hung
I knew would only serve to dig us deeper down
The best that I could do was leave you down and out

Though all I ever wanted was to do right by you
Well I couldn't prove it standing there beside you
The easy way out would have been to stick around

Oh before we got too high above the ground
Suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down

Though I know that there's a heart of gold you hold inside
I've seen it glow so many times
The thought of leaving you is leaving me broken down
Though all I ever wanted was to do right by you
Well I couldn't prove standing there beside you
The easy way out would have been to stick around

Still I wish there was some kind of switch that I could turn on
When a love don't stay strong, to keep the everything from going wrong
All my life, seems every time, there was more love in letting go
Than I could ever give in holding on

Oh before we got too high above the ground
Suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down
And I believe, I believe, I believe
In another time around
But suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down
