Don't Let Me Down
Fleurie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hands on the wheel
Eyes on the road
No looking back this time

Silver and gold
Don't wanna need silver and gold
No looking back, no looking back this time
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

Eyes like a shield
Bullets they hide
No looking back this time

Hand to the fold
Keeping your hands on the gold
No looking back, no looking back this time

Don't let me down
Don't let me down




Don't let me down
Don't let me down
