Don't Let Me Down

About Don't Let Me Down

"Don't Let Me Down" is a song recorded by British singer-songwriter Leona Lewis for her second studio album Echo (2009). Lewis co-wrote the song with Mike Elizondo, James Fauntleroy, Justin Timberlake and Robin Tadross. It was produced by The Y's and co-produced by Elizondo. Lewis and Timberlake carried out the vocal production. Having wanted to work with Timberlake for a long time, the collaboration came to be after he had asked Lewis to perform at a charity concert he was holding in Las Vegas in October 2008. It was reported that they were going to cover Dolly Parton's song "I Will Always Love You" as a duet, however they worked together on new songs for Echo instead, and "Don't Let Me Down" was created. Lewis revealed that her cover of "Run" inspired Timberlake. Lyrically, the song is about making difficult decisions in life and trying to take control of situations. The song garnered a mixed response from music critics. While Lewis' vocal performance relieved unanimous praise, some felt that the track lacked any soul or emotion. Its production received comparisons to Timberlake's songs "Cry Me a River" and "What Goes Around... Comes Around". Lewis has performed the song at Rock in Rio and it was included on her debut concert tour, The Labyrinth, and later on the accompanying DVD release, The Labyrinth Tour: Live from the O2. more »

Fork in the road,
Looking both ways, I,
Don't know which way to go.
What do I count on?
Is it the road less traveled?
Or the one I already know?

And no I'm not traveling alone.
I got my heart in my hand, And,
You can bet I'm holding it close.

Don't wanna climb,
Don't wanna fall,
Don't know where to start it all.
I can start by taking it slow.

First I need a, hero,
I got a, mirror,
Looking inside of my soul.
If I need a, hero,
I got my, mirror,
Gotta go on with the show.

I got my ear to the ground
That's the sound of my train comin' 'round.
This is a chance for us to be heard loud.
It's you and me,
And it's our time now.
Don't let me down.

Don't let me down,
Don't let me down now,
Don't let me down,
Don't let me down now.

People!
This is what you're living your life for.
Fighter,
That's your name (That's your name)

Trying to hide but it's obvious you're a survivor.
Believer,
Don't let the travel in the road
That look in your eyes,
Puts fire in the heart of the cold (world).
Got a marathon to try again,
I'm not even tryin' to win.
I'm just glad I'm not alone.

First I need a, hero,
I got a, mirror,
Looking inside of my soul.
If I need a, hero,
I get my, mirror,
Gotta go on with the show.

I got my ear to the ground
That's the sound of my train comin' 'round.
This is a chance for us to be heard loud.
It's you and me,
And it's our time now.
Don't let me down.

Don't you let me down,
Promise you won't let me down.
Don't you let me down,
Promise you won't let me down.

You've been running so alone.
I see you (I see you).
You told me we could change the world.
And I believe it's true.

There's nothing now to hold us down.
I found,
My pains,
And the sound of your heart led the way.

I got my ear to the ground
That's the sound of my train comin' 'round. (comin' round)
This is a chance for us to be heard loud.
It's you and me,
And it's our time now.
Don't let me down!

Don't you let me down, (Don't let me down)
Promise you won't let me down, (Don't let me down now)
Don't let me down,(Don't let me down now)
Promise you won't let me down, (Don't let me down now)

Don't let me down,
Don't let me down now,
Don't let me down,
Don't let me down now.
