Won’t Let You Down
Calum Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You stand by his side, he lies all alone
It's the fairytale you want
But the glimmer in your eyes have gone
And now you're alone, I'll lend you my shoulder to cry on
I won't let you down, this time around
Don't care where you are, I won't let you down
Thanks for the tears, the pain that you caused
And now you're just a memory
An old familiar melody, she's heard before
It's a fairytale you ended
Done with your pretending you're the fool
Oh, you're the fool
And now she's alone, I'll give her my hand to hold on to
I won't let you down, this time around
And I'll show you how, no matter how far
Don't care where you are, I won't let you down
And I see now, my eyes are open
I'm all yours, tears have spoken
I can't fix all that is broken
My feet on the ground
But I won't let you down, this time around
I'll show you how, no matter how far
But I won't let you down, this time around
And I'll show you how, no matter how far
Don't care where you are, I won't let you down

The love of your life, is treating you wrong
You are being mistreated by the person you love the most
You stand by his side, he lies all alone
You support and stick to his side, but he deceives you in your absence
It's the fairytale you want
You desire to live a dreamy life
But the glimmer in your eyes have gone
You have lost the hopeful and optimistic spark in your eyes

Now that you are alone and feeling down, you can lean on me for emotional support
I won't let you down, this time around
I promise not to disappoint you this time

I don't mind your location, I vow to be there for you
Thanks for the tears, the pain that you caused
Thank you for experiencing tears and causing me pain
And now you're just a memory
Now you are merely a recollection of the past
An old familiar melody, she's heard before
A typical and overused song she has encountered in the past
It's a fairytale you ended
You terminated the fabled life you wanted
Done with your pretending you're the fool
You are finished invalidly believing that you are the clever one
And now she's alone, I'll give her my hand to hold on to
Currently being alone, I will tender my hand as support
And I see now, my eyes are open
I have come to realize and understand
I'm all yours, tears have spoken
I belong to you, my tears have expressed my feelings
I can't fix all that is broken
I can't correct everything that's shattered
My feet on the ground
I am calm and realistic about my current situation
But I won't let you down, this time around
Irrespective of the past, I won't disappoint you again
And I'll show you how, no matter how far
I will illustrate to you that no distance is a hindrance
Don't care where you are, I won't let you down
I don't care about your whereabouts, I'll still be by your side
