I Shouldn't Have Let You Down Songtext
von String Factory

There was a time when I thought nothing ever changed
There was a time when I thought nothing ever changed
But of course I was wrong
So it didn′t last long, and it's strange
That I could never catch what you would send my way
Just like a child watching games that people play
Told you I never knew
How they could act as they do – but that day

You saw me sitting on both my hands
You′d stand there talking through long term plans
So, how should I have known?
You seemed so happy alone as it stands
And I've been drinking and feeling rough
So, please don't hurt me, I′ve had enough
Yes, I know you were right
You were the one that I liked
But in all the time I waited for the moment to strike
Did you smile and take me home for the night?


Tell me what else I was supposed to do?
You never told me I was leaving with you
Tell me what else I was supposed to do?
I never thought I meant that much to you...

All of this gossip out of your old-fashioned friends
It′s music to my ears, and the music never ends
Won't they give it a rest?
They made me think it was best to pretend
′Cause if they ever saw me tell it to them plain
They'd give me funny looks as if I was insane
That′s what I thought at first
Until they gave me their worst, when I caved

And now you're standing at my front door
A face I thought I won′t see no more
Looking straight at my eyes
And saying I was the guy you adored
To make me feel bad and all that stuff
So, please don't tell me, I've heard enough
How could I leave you like this?
I didn′t think I′d be missed
And the last thing that I wanted was you fuming like this
So, if you really wanna give me the gist


Tell me what else I was supposed to do?
You never told me I was leaving with you
Tell me what else I was supposed to do?
You're staring at me and I don′t have a clue
I guess I shouldn't have let you down

Don′t you remember how things wound up?
So, please don't call me, I′ve had enough
How could I leave you like this?
I thought that I'd be dismissed
And the last thing that I wanted was you clenching your fist
So, if you ever wanna give me the list

Tell me what else I was supposed to do?
You never told me I was leaving with you
Tell me what else I was supposed to do?
'Cause if you said I′d meant that much to you
I guess I wouldn′t have let you down

La, la-la, la-la, la-la, la
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, la
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, la
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, la
