as i wish the whole world would
for all the things you thought you could
and you would lick the tears from my eyes when i cry
how i missed you when i was gone
i never meant to let you down
i wait with a stake in my heart
i never meant to put you down
i'm trying not to fall apart
now all i have is riches and pictures and stitches
money could never buy what you give
and though my heart is achin' and breakin' i'm makin'
the most of what you send my way
now i want just to hold you
i know we will be okay every day
the sun shines a little brighter
i never meant to let you down
i wait with a stake in my heart
i never meant to put you down
i'm trying not to fall apart
i never meant to let you down
i wait with a stake in my heart
i never meant to put you down
i'm trying not to fall apart
i'm trying not to fall apart
i'm pushing with all of my might
i never meant to let you down
i never meant to put you down
i never meant to let you down
i never meant to put you down
