Won’t Let You Down

They say you can't love and be wise, but I can pretend
With you, if suddenly I ever have to surrender you
I'd fall in a heap, I'd fall on the floor
And crawl on all fours, for you I'd fall on my sword
If grief ever darkened my door, you'd light it up
The way you brighten up a room hits me right in the chest
It puts the breath inside of my lungs
It's like I lept in the light of the sun
And in spite of my weary frown
You wear a smile that wears me down
So hear me out, I know that I wasted time
When I should've been replacing your last name with mine
And that mistake is mine, believe me
I wear it like a sunburn, it might disappear but it won't leave me
I'll carry you on my shoulders, never set you down
Ferry you through the coldness, never let you down
I won't let you down, won't let you down again
I won't let you down, won't let you down again
Travelling man in the back of a van
Capturing sands like time through the back of my hand
If I could hold her for a moment, do a lap of this land
I'd console you for a moment, then be back in a glance
But I'm so far since we left for the road
Chicks I've seen around the heavens and globe
Searching for the next episode
Problem is, in letting it go
Be like letting go of everything you treasure and know
And whenever I go, I think my chest will explode
No matter where your heart at, brain leaves death in the crew
Try and understand, where I lay my head is my home
And I was in love, before this rap shit was ever in vogue
But if you feel that you're ever alone
While standing in the same room as me
Let's set it in stone
You can't save me, acquainted to this devilish road
But you're bravely willing to give a hell of a go
So
I won't let you down, won't let you down again
I won't let you down, won't let you down again
I hate that I was wasted your touch, your taste
My shame, can't change, want you to remain
My angel, my heartbeat, come closer, I'm sorry
My soul is, yours truly, you know this
And you know that I
Won't be shy, talking bout what you're giving me
Conflict diamond, you shine through the misery
You walk in a room and light it up, that's just with your entry
You walk in a room and light it up, like it was four twenty
Some people never find out what they have
Only ever find out what they had
And I could've been one of them, don't know if I still won't
And that thought hangs around my neck like a millstone
For real though, it's like I lost you, left you, let you go
Before I got to get you, or let you know
That you're my refuge and I need you to see
The only one I let down more than you is me
And I won't let you down, and I won't let you down
I won't let you down, won't let you down again
I won't let you down, I won't let you down again
