Never Gonna Let You Down
Colbie Caillat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're feeling low
And you just don't know where to run to
Broke
If your heart's been broke
And you feel like you're all alone
If you need something to believe in
If you're looking for a light to guide you home
You're light a shining brighter than you know
You should know
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always gonna build you up
And when you're feeling lost
I will always find you love
I'm never gonna walk away
I'm always gonna have your back
And if nothing else you can always count on that
When you need me
I promise I will never let you down
Laugh
I will make you laugh
If you ever feel like crying
Close
I will hold you close
You won't be alone anymore
If you need someone to believe in
If you're reaching for a hand to guide you home
Just take my hand and I won't let you go
I hope you know
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always gonna build you up
And when you're feeling lost
I will always find you love
I'm never gonna walk away
I'm always gonna have your back
And if nothing else you can always count on that
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always gonna build you up
And when you're feeling lost
I will always find you love
I'm never gonna walk away
I'm always gonna have your back
And if nothing else you can always count on that

And if nothing else you can always count on that
When you need me
I promise I will never let you down
Ain't never going let you down
Ain't never going let you down

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
(Ooh) Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

This song always brings tears to my eyes. This came out when I was going through a very tough time in my life and this song always reminds me of how my siblings, and even more so, my mother were there for me and their love is the only reason I'm alive today. They came to my side without hesitation and without that I would have given into my depression and had nothing to live for. I love them and can't thank them enough for what they did and this songs always reminds me how much they mean to me.

Wonderful family support. Always keep holding on!
@tayloridontknow
Your songs are always so positive. The world could use more artists like you.

I’m about to be a first time mom to a little girl and I heard this on my way to work this morning and started crying happy tears. I’m so excited to step into my motherhood roll and love and support my baby girl as she grows up 🥹

I listen to this song every time I feel sad and its so amazing she deserves more credit than she gets
@NintendoNerdKim
This song is not only about dogs, but the meaning could be used towards best friends who are always there for you regardless. And it reminds me of my awesome friends who never left my side and continue to support me and care for me. I am so blessed to have them in my life. <3
@joslyn9834
I agree. Because of my dad's job, I moved 20 hours away, leaving my bff behind. We were neighbors, but it felt like we were sisters. This was our favorite song, we literally thought it was written for us! I miss her like crazy, and I'd do anything to get her back, especially since I have no friends at my new school. I'm glad you've still got your best friend with you. :)
@21svg165
i can agree with your comment but..still pets are the reason why this music created coz of their love and their loyalty they are willing to die for you...
@maya-vz1wm
I love this song. My family and I have a playlist full of songs appropriate for all of us, including my younger brother and sister and we always play this song on repeat. We always connect my phone to the car and listen to this on repeat. 💖
