Let You Down

from Chemistry Night by Jackpot, Tiger

/

lyrics

Been over every inch of skin
Both the tattooed and the porcelain
Scouted and charted every inch
Of your coastline.

But with every mile drawn to scale
From collarbone to fingernail
I find no countryside
I can claim as mine.

Oh, I'm only gonna let you down
If I decide to stick around.

And it seems with every bridge I cross
Oh, it's one more match I strike and toss
Over my shoulder
As I'm waving you goodbye.

And if there's one thing I've begun to discover it's that
There's nothing quite so fickle as a serial lover
So don't be surprised when he leaves you
High and dry.

Oh, I'm only gonna let you down
If I decide to stick around.

So I'll go but you have to take my word
That the risk of another heartbreak
Is too high for any reward.
You call it selfish well I call it safe.
I'll be the first to admit this was the cowardly way.
You'll move on with little delay.
In a month it won't matter how much I say

That I was terrified to let you down
But I know I should've stuck around.
