Don't Wanna Let You Down
Jonny Glenn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna let you down
It's the only the thing I think about every morning
You know my life ain't figured out
But I promise if you stick around, it'll never get boring
We'll spend nights, cheap red wine
Look at flights, even though we can't afford them
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna lose you now

Will you stay?
Even when you wanna walk away?
When times get bad
We can learn to love what we have

I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down

I don't wanna mess around
You're the only one I want there at the end of my story
It's the only thing I've figured out
'Cause everything else in my life without you would be boring
We'll spend nights, cheap red wine
Look at flights, even though we can't afford them
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna lose you now

I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
We'll spend nights, cheap red wine
Look at flights, even though we can't afford them
I don't wanna let you down

Will you stay?
Even when you wanna walk away?
When times get bad
We can learn to love what we have

I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down

We'll spend nights, cheap red wine
Look at flights, even though we can't afford them




I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
