Let Me Down
Jorja Smith Lyrics

Sometimes, I wouldn't mind if I was less important
I sometimes wish I wasn't so important to you

Would you think about them all the time?
Would you think about me all the time if I wasn't as important to you?

Wonder if you'll even notice in the morning
I wonder if you'll even remember me in the morning

So where'd you go when you can't get to me
Where do you go when you can't be with me?

And you just can't control?
And you can't control yourself?

But I've got you to let me down
You are the one who lets me down

Only you can understand why
Only you can understand why you let me down

Yeah, yo, it's like
This is how I feel

You've got me, I'm pondering that
I'm thinking about how you have me

Said, 'I'll be back in a sec, I need to reflect'
You said you needed time to reflect

But you swear it's been longer than that
But it feels like you've been gone longer than that

Time is golden, time is thin
Time is precious

But time is rare, so we squander and that
But we often waste the time we have

I feel your pain when I hear your voice
I can hear the pain in your voice

So fix your tone, man, you're stronger than that
You need to speak with more strength and confidence

And you're, like, the strongest girl I know
You are one of the strongest people I know

Don't go wasting your loving on me
Don't give me your love if it'll just be wasted

When I see tears run, I'm likely to run
When I see you cry, I'm inclined to run away

So girl, don't love me, I mean it
Don't love me if you don't mean it

When I say I love you, I mean it
I truly love you

And it's mad cuh I choose to be distant
It's crazy that I'm choosing to be distant

But it's f*cked cuh I know what a queen is. So why do I?
It's messed up that I know what a good woman is but I still act this way

Sometimes, your world spins 'round
Sometimes life can be overwhelming

But you never had a king 'til now
But you never had someone like me before

Yeah, girl, do you understand
Do you understand what I'm saying?

Why these feelings never come to plan?
Why can't things go as planned?

I'm never gonna let you down, I'm never gonna let you down
I promise to never disappoint you

Yeah, I tried, but I just can't give you up
I tried to let you go but I can't

Wonder why is it that I'm not good enough?
I wonder why I'm not enough for you

Some kind of hold over me
You have some power over me

If I let you down, will you self-destruct?
If I disappoint you, will you fall apart?

Only you, only you can understand why
Only you can understand why you have such an effect on me

I've got you to let me down
You are the one who lets me down
