You were waiting for me, adore me, you saw me
as I wish the whole world would
You would never hurt me, desert me or work me
For all the things you thought you should
You would lick the tears from my eyes when I cry
How I missed you when I was gone
Hurt me so to leave you deceive you I needed you
I believed in you.

Oh I never meant to let you down
Awake with a stake in my eye
I never meant to put you down
I'm trying not to fall apart

All I have are pictures and stitches and riches
But money could never buy what you give
Though my heart is achin' and breakin' I'm makin'
The most of what you send my way
I want just to hold you, unfold you, I told
That I [bad word] back for you
I know we will be okay everyday
And the sun shines a little brighter

Oh I never meant to let you down
Awake with a stake in my eye
I never meant to put you down
I'm trying not to fall apart
I never meant to let you down
awake with a stake in my heart
I never meant to let you down
I'm trying not to fall apart
I'm trying not to fall apart

When we reunite we'll set a light
I'm wishing with all of my mind
Oh no, I never meant to let you down
(awake with a stake in my heart)
Never meant to let you down
(I'm trying not to fall apart)
I never let you down
(awake with a stake in my heart)
I never meant to let you down
I'm trying not to fall apart.
