Don't Let Me Down
Leona Lewis Lyrics

Fork in the road,
At a pivotal moment where there are two paths to take.

Looking both ways, I,
Taking time to consider the options.

Don't know which way to go.
Feeling indecisive and uncertain.

What do I count on?
Questioning what to trust.

Is it the road less traveled?
Considering taking risks and trying something new.

Or the one I already know?
Considering sticking with what is familiar and safe.

And no I'm not traveling alone.
Having others to rely on during this journey.

I got my heart in my hand, And,
Being vulnerable and exposed while undertaking this journey.

You can bet I'm holding it close.
Being protective of one's own heart.

Don't wanna climb,
Not wanting to work too hard or strive too high.

Don't wanna fall,
Not wanting to risk failure or disappointment.

Don't know where to start it all.
Feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to begin.

I can start by taking it slow.
Taking small steps and not rushing the process.

First I need a, hero,
Needing someone to look up to and inspire.

I got a, mirror,
Finding that inspiration within oneself.

Looking inside of my soul.
Examining one's own inner self and values.

If I need a, hero,
Realizing that sometimes we all need someone to look up to.

I got my, mirror,
Understanding that we can also find inspiration and strength within ourselves.

Gotta go on with the show.
Continuing forward, despite any doubts or obstacles.

I got my ear to the ground;
Staying aware and alert to opportunities and potential dangers.

That's the sound of my train comin' 'round.
Feeling like one's journey is imminent and cannot be stopped.

This is a chance for us to be heard loud.
Feeling like there is an opportunity to make an impact and be noticed.

It's you and me,
Feeling united with others for a common goal.

And it's our time now.
Believing that the present time is the right moment to take action.

Don't let me down.
Seeking trust and reliability from others.

People!
Addressing and engaging with others directly.

This is what you're living your life for.
Considering the purpose and value of one's own life.

Fighter, That's your name (JT: That's your name)
Encouraging others to be strong and resilient.

Trying to hide but it's obvious you're a survivor.
Recognizing that someone may be going through a tough time, but has the strength to overcome it.

Believer, Don't let the travel in the road -
Encouraging someone to stay true to their beliefs, even in difficult circumstances.

That look in your eyes,
Noticing something powerful in someone's gaze or expression.

Puts fire in the heart of the cold (world).
Feeling like someone's energy and drive can inspire and motivate others.

Got a marathon to try again,
Feeling like there is a long and challenging journey ahead.

I'm not even tryin' to win.
Not necessarily focused on success, but on the efforts and the journey itself.

I'm just glad I'm not alone.
Feeling grateful for the support and companionship of others.

Don't you let me down,
Asking someone to be reliable and trustworthy.

Promise you won't let me down.
Seeking a commitment to reliability and trust.

You've been running so alone.
Feeling like someone has been struggling and trying to make progress on their own.

I see you (I see you).
Acknowledging and recognizing that person's struggle.

You told me we could change the world.
Believing in the power of collective action to make an impact on a larger scale.

And I believe it's true.
Having faith and confidence in this belief.

There's nothing now to hold us down.
Feeling unencumbered and free to pursue one's goals.

I found, My pains,
Acknowledging one's past struggles and challenges.

And the sound of your heart led the way.
Feeling inspired and motivated by the heart and passion of others.

Don't you let me down!
Reiterating the importance of reliability and trustworthiness.

Promise you won't let me down.
Seeking a commitment to reliability and trust once again.
