They say you can't love and be wise, but I can pretend With you, if suddenly I ever have to surrender you I'd fall in a heap, I'd fall on the floor And crawl on all fours, for you I'd fall on my sword If grief ever darkened my door, you'd light it up The way you brighten up a room hits me right in the chest It puts the breath inside of my lungs It's like I lept in the light of the sun And in spite of my weary frown You wear a smile that wears me down So hear me out, I know that I wasted time When I should've been replacing your last name with mine And that mistake is mine, believe me I wear it like a sunburn, it might disappear but it won't leave me I'll carry you on my shoulders, never set you down Ferry you through the coldness, never let you down I won't let you down, won't let you down again I won't let you down, won't let you down again Travelling man in the back of a van Capturing sands like time through the back of my hand If I could hold her for a moment, do a lap of this land I'd console you for a moment, then be back in a glance But I'm so far since we left for the road Chicks I've seen around the heavens and globe Searching for the next episode Problem is, in letting it go Be like letting go of everything you treasure and know And whenever I go, I think my chest will explode No matter where your heart at, brain leaves death in the crew Try and understand, where I lay my head is my home And I was in love, before this rap shit was ever in vogue But if you feel that you're ever alone While standing in the same room as me Let's set it in stone You can't save me, acquainted to this devilish road But you're bravely willing to give a hell of a go So I won't let you down, won't let you down again I won't let you down, won't let you down again I hate that I was wasted your touch, your taste My shame, can't change, want you to remain My angel, my heartbeat, come closer, I'm sorry My soul is, yours truly, you know this And you know that I Won't be shy, talking bout what you're giving me Conflict diamond, you shine through the misery You walk in a room and light it up, that's just with your entry You walk in a room and light it up, like it was four twenty Some people never find out what they have Only ever find out what they had And I could've been one of them, don't know if I still won't And that thought hangs around my neck like a millstone For real though, it's like I lost you, left you, let you go Before I got to get you, or let you know That you're my refuge and I need you to see The only one I let down more than you is me And I won't let you down, and I won't let you down I won't let you down, won't let you down again I won't let you down, I won't let you down again
