[Verse 1]
You, evergreen, the fire in my past
Can't run free if I keep looking back
It's a lost cause, it's a bad bet
It's a storm but gotta face it
[Chorus]
Oh, I
I love you but you let me down
Yeah, oh, I
I love you but you let me down
[Verse 2]
The last time for an eternity
You're only mine when I am on my feet
You're elusive and it kills me
Inconclusive, never-ending
[Chorus]
Oh, I
I love you but you let me down
Yeah, oh, I
I love you but you let me down
[Post-Chorus]
And I'll go as fast as I can
No time for a moment to myself
And I'll go as fast as I can
I swear on my life it's for the best
[Bridge]
And I might call you on your birthday
Cover words I wanted to say
With some small talk, and I'll tear up
But I'll go on, and I'll hang up before I can say
[Chorus]
I love you but you let me down
No-no, oh, I
I love you but you let me down
[Post-Chorus]
And I'll go as fast as I can
No time for a moment to myself
And I'll go as fast as I can
I swear on my life it's for the best
[Bridge]
Though our moment, kept us waiting
I will keep it, keep it sacred
Like it's golden, wish you nothing
But an exhale, and I'm hoping you hear when I say
[Outro]
I never meant to let you down
Oh, I
I love you but you let me down
