love don't let me down

i've never been the lucky one

watched my dreams all turning round

while they left me alone

thinking they'd come someday

well

it turns out i was wrong

time don't wait for anyone

now i stand here like a school kid hoping

that it's not late

there goes my heart again

as foolish as it's ever been

always leading me some place that i just couldn't stay

but i'm not gonna look behind

there's nothing there i wanna find

i just stand here and face you and promise

to not run away

under the sun

there ain't nothing new

there's lovers and leavers

moments forgotten

and dreams that don't ever come true

even though i'm afraid

i'm gonna stand my ground

and if it's not asking too much

love

don't let me down

now here i am in front of you

just hoping that my best will do

i'm a good man

loving man

that just needs someone to hold

i can see it in your face

your love can fill up this empty space

in the years up ahead

don't have to feel so damn alone

under the sun

oh

there ain't nothing new

and maybe it's crazy to keep chasing after

these dreams that don't ever come true

even though i'm afraid

i'm gonna stand my ground

and if it's not asking too much

love

don't let me down
