Songtext You let me down No Use For A Name

You let me down

she's never alone because she's scared of what she might say to herselfalways drinkin' in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in with a half-hearted grinshe won't be afraidas long as that prescription keeps on goin' thruand all the happy pills make her look like a cardboardcut out of someone I used to learn frombut on the phone she's tellin' everyonethat there was a blue sky she left behindand there's a place that no one knows aboutaway from integrity she writes a book in her head that nobody will readwhatever you say please don't talk about the time when she was youngapparently that was a different person and so long agoit's strange to me there's no historybut there's a past and she's tellin' everyoneit must be a garden that wouldn't growwith roots of shame too sensitive to blameherself as we watch he drown
I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crownsomewhere in this lonely game of sympathythere is a selfish dream that makes me sickstandin' on the high wire while you're on the groundto you what is dangerous is save and soundyou let me down
