Lyrics

DLMD

[Intro: Nick Hexum]

Don't let me down, don't let me down again

Don't let me down, don't let me down again

Don't let me down, don't let me down again

Don't let me down, don't let me down again

[Verse 1: Doug "SA" Martinez]

Swelled up eyes, oh my, the girl got beat

And the stupid motherfucker who made you so

That punk is a coward, let that be told

I hear voices in the night that are electric

He kicks the shit out of her because he's heartless

She won't leave, she has low self-esteem

He's got, uh, gravitational pull

Sucks her body 'til her heart and her limbs grow cold

[Refrain: Nick Hexum]

Hang in there, use your head

How can I love you after you're dead?

Hang on in there, keep tryin'

How can I love you after—

[Verse 2: Nick Hexum]

Here's what you gotta tell him

I'm thinking of a picture that's keepin' me in stitch

You're causin' me a mental glitch, 'cause jealousy is such a bitch

Ron Saint-Germain

I hereby emancipate myself from that

You can consider yourself free to flirt and chat

With whoever you want, it should have always been that way

The way that you flaunt, the way that you play

My mind is blank slate, I'm pretending you're erased

You cannot let me down when I cannot see your face

[Refrain: Nick Hexum]

Hang in there, use your head

How can I love you after you're dead?

Hang on in there, keep tryin'

How can I love you after dyin'?

[Bridge]

Ode to a beat up girl, I know you're out there

Stronger than you think, stand up if you care

Get up off the ground, don't let me down

Get up off the ground, don't let me down

[Refrain: Nick Hexum]

Hang in there, use your head

How can I love you after you're dead?

Hang on in there, keep tryin'

How can I love you after—

[Outro: Nick Hexum]

And you, and you, I'mma let you pass without kickin' your ass

Because I'm above it, you hurt someone I love

It takes two to make a thing go right, and that's trite

But one just to sneak and weasel through the night

If you hurt her again, I'll fuck you up

If you hurt her again, I'll fuck you up, fuck you up

If you hurt her again, I'll fuck you up

If you hurt her again, I'll fuck you up, fuck you up
