You Let Me Down testo

she's never alone
because she's scared of what she might say to herself
always drinkin' in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in with a half-hearted grin
she won't be afraid
as long as that prescription keeps on goin' thru
and all the happy pills make her look like a cardboard
cut out of someone I used to learn from
but on the phone she's tellin' everyone
that there was a blue sky she left behind
and there's a place that no one knows about
away from integrity she writes a book in her head that nobody will read
whatever you say
please don't talk about the time when she was young
apparently that was a different person and so long ago
it's strange to me there's no history
but there's a past and she's tellin' everyone
it must be a garden that wouldn't grow
with roots of shame too sensitive to blame
herself as we watch he drown
I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown
somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy
there is a selfish dream that makes me sick
standin' on the high wire while you're on the ground
to you what is dangerous is save and sound
you let me down
