the letdown

i can hear your heartbeat i've tried so hard to forget

i'm being buried under the memory of all of my regrets

i've spent ages losing sleep

while strangers warmed your bed

i know it's over

please be over

there's nothing left to save

let me let you down

i can't watch you drown with me

your voice is ringing in my ears

but i can't see you talk

you could tell me to go straight to hell

and i'd enjoy the walk

i've spent ages losing sleep

while strangers warmed your bed

i know it's over

please be over

there's nothing left to save

let me let you down

i can't watch you drown with me

if i could make it simpler

if i could get back to the start

i would keep you even closer

so that i could hear your heart

but your pulse has started fading

i'll try to hold on to the sound

i know it's over

please be over

because i'll just let you down
