Lyrics

Blackout

Asked your permission, didn't I?

To self-medicate this way once in a while

But you're afraid of everything

Your love's listening

You can't appreciate anything

Dead on the sofa with a record running

Baby, I can't help it, letting you down

Letting you down

Letting you down

Got your attention, didn't I?

Crying, coming apart, right here before your eyes

You're disappointed, are you now?

I'm still listening, just tell me what you want

I won't feel a thing, just tell me what you want

Leaving you alone wasn't my decision

Baby, it's not easy, letting you down

Letting you down (it's not easy)

Letting you down (it's not easy)

Letting you down
