LET DOWN
Autumn Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't believe that it still feels like it is new
Your touch was so familiar
Now I don't know if it feels like home
You should not say something if you don't mean it
Yeah you are too cold
Runnin' again now, feelin' a let down
Hearing the same thing
It's ticking down inside
Runnin' again now, never to be found
Chewed up till there's nothing left
You're living in my head
And I don't know what to do
You're living in my head
Woah
You feel some type of way and I don't know what it's about
When you talk to me like that it makes me change the route
I toss and turn at night because I want the best for you
I always give you chances but it's clear you want me out
And when you knockin' at the door don't tell me it's alright
If I had the chance you know that I would be way out of sight
Yeah
Blame game comes around and I don't get the light of day
If you wanna play those games then I don't know what to tell you
Runnin' again now, feelin' a let down
Hearing the same thing
It's ticking down inside
Runnin' again now, never to be found
Chewed up till there's nothing left
You're living in my head
And I don't know what to do
You're living in my head
Woah
Runnin' again now, feelin' a let down
Hearing the same thing
It's ticking down inside
Runnin' again now, never to be found
Chewed up till there's nothing left
