Everyone'll Let You Down Letra

but it's beneath the girl I love
you used to speak my name
and you filled it up
filled it with your spirit

did he raise a fire
did you roll up in flames
turn to black and yellow
did you think of me at all
and how we cut ourselves
on all the sharp tongues in town
when you thought that I could
never let you down

my baby died in North Carolina
when she traded me in
at the Newbourne City diner
remember when you thought that I
could never let you down

everyone'll let you down

i'm just an empty hand
and a swollen belly
born upside down
guess i'll die before my time
can't I love you madly
when it's not the other way
not the other way around

c'mon and walk me home
with your blessed body
paint your name on my lips
and the rest comes naturally
did you scare yourself
and hide that face in the ground
when you thought that I could
never let you down

my baby died in North Carolina
when she traded me in
at the Newbourne City diner
remember when you thought that I
could never let you down

everyone'll let you down...
all good things, and all bad things
they all fall down
everyone'll let you down...
