Let Down
Chester Bennington Lyrics

And the tears fall like rain
The singer is crying heavily.

Down on my face again
Tears are falling down the singer's face.

Oh the words you wouldn't say
The singer's lover refused to communicate certain feelings.

And the games you played
The artist's lover acted in a manipulative or insincere way.

With my unfoolish heart
The artist's heart was naive and easily fooled.

Oh I should have known this from the start
The singer regrets not recognizing the warning signs of their lover's behavior from the beginning.

Oh the winter and spring
The passage of time is symbolized by changes in the seasons.

Going hand in hand
The artist's emotions have been constant throughout the seasons.

Just like my love and pain
The artist experiences love and pain in a continuous cycle.

How the thought of you cuts deep within the vain
The artist feels intense emotional pain when thinking about their lover.

Oh this brand new skin stretched across scared terrain
The singer has been hurt and is trying to heal from their emotional scars.

I don't wanna be let down
The artist fears being disappointed or hurt again.

I don't wanna live my life again
The singer doesn't want to repeat past mistakes or go through the same pain again.

Don't wanna be lead down the same old road
The singer wants to change their course instead of repeating patterns in their life.

All those years down the drain
The singer feels like their time and effort invested in the relationship has been wasted.

Love was not enough when you want everything
The artist's lover was too demanding and expected too much from the relationship.

What I gave to you and now the end must start
The artist realizes their sacrifices and contributions could not save the relationship.

Oh I should have listened to my heart
The singer regrets ignoring their own intuition and feelings about the relationship.
