i won't let you down

out of touch and disconnected

i had it all

oh and watched it slip away

with the damage done

it's self-inflicted

it's no surprise to find it all end up the same

but then you shattered everything

and all that's left is the truth and you and me

and that's all i'll ever need to make sure that i don't do the same old stupid things

i never said nothing when i should've said

but this time's gonna be different

i won't let you down

no

see i'm the author of broken hearts

i'm tired of causing pain

i didn't need to start

and i won't let you down

call it pride or indecision

it took so long

oh

for me to say

that i never loved with conviction

cause all i thought about was looking out for me

but then you

you risked everything

you came along and you saved me from myself

and you won't ever see the shadow of the fool i used to be

i never said nothing when i should've said

but this time's gonna be different

i won't let you down

no

see i'm the author of broken hearts

i'm tired of causing pain

i didn't need to start

and i won't let you down

no

i won't let you down

listen baby

i know i made enough mistakes and there's only me to blame

but honesty could never lie

then you can see the truth in my eyes

i know i can't run from myself without hurting someone else

so i'm standing my ground

won't be letting you down

cause i'd never do that to me

no

said i never said nothing when i should've said

but this time's gonna be different

i won't let you down

no

see i'm the author of broken hearts

i'm tired of causing pain

i didn't need to start

and i won't let you down

no

i won't let you down

i won't let you down
