Let You Down
Maddison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a light in you
That was torn down to nothing
I could see it in your eyes
And I couldn't see through
All of your disguises
And all your fears inside
I let you down
I didn't see your pain
You're not around
Want you home again
Didn't know that you were hurting
Wish that I could just rewind
I let you down
Never be the same
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
There was a pain in you
The hope was gone and dying
But you painted on your smile
Now that you've left and gone
It's not surprising
How I see it every time
I let you down
I didn't see your pain
You're not around
Want you home again
Didn't know that you were hurting
Wish that I could just rewind
I let you down
Never be the same
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I didn't see your pain
You're not around
Want you home again
Didn't know that you were hurting
Wish that I could just rewind
I let you down
Never be the same
I let you down
I let you down




I let you down
I let you down

Overall Meaning

The song "Let You Down" by Maddison is a heartfelt apology to someone who the singer has let down in ways they didn't realize until it was too late. The first verse talks about how the person's light, their inner brightness or happiness, was broken down to nothing. The singer could see it in their eyes, but couldn't see past the person's "disguises" or the ways they hid their pain from others. The chorus repeats the heartbreaking admission, "I let you down," and expresses the longing to have the person back in their life, and the regret of not recognizing their pain earlier. The second verse describes the person's pain and despair, which they tried to cover up with a painted-on smile. The singer now realizes that they saw this pain all along, but didn't understand the extent or severity of it until the person was gone. The repetition of "I let you down" at the end of the song shows the singer's acknowledgement of their wrongdoing and their desire for things to be different.


Overall, this song captures the feeling of realizing too late that you could have helped someone, but didn't. It's a reminder to pay attention to those we care about, to look past the surface and see what's really going on, and to take action when we can.


Line by Line Meaning

There was a light in you
You used to have a spark or energy about you


That was torn down to nothing
But something ripped that away and left you feeling empty


I could see it in your eyes
I could tell from the way you looked that something was wrong


And I couldn't see through
But I couldn't understand what was happening to you


All of your disguises
You were hiding your pain and putting on a front


And all your fears inside
You were consumed by anxiety and worry


I let you down
I failed to support you or be there for you when you needed me


You're not around
Now you're gone and I miss you terribly


Want you home again
I wish you were here with me


Didn't know that you were hurting
I had no idea that you were in pain


Wish that I could just rewind
I wish I could turn back time and do things differently


Never be the same
Your absence has left a void that cannot be filled


There was a pain in you
You were carrying a heavy burden


The hope was gone and dying
You had lost your optimism and positivity


But you painted on your smile
Despite how you felt, you tried to appear happy and upbeat


Now that you've left and gone
You have passed away or left me behind


It's not surprising
In retrospect, I can now see that you were struggling


How I see it every time
I am haunted by the realization of what was happening to you


I let you down
Once again, I feel guilty for not being there when you needed me most


Never be the same
Without you, my life will never be as it was before


I let you down
I feel like I failed you in some way


I let you down
My regret and remorse are overwhelming


I let you down
I wish I could go back and make things right


I let you down
But I know I can't, and that realization is crushing

There was a light in you
That was torn into nothing
I can see it in your eyes
And I couldn't see through
All your disguised and all your fears inside

I let you down and see your pain
You not around would you home again
Didn't know that you would had it
Wish that I could just rewind
I let you down never be the same

I let you down
I let you down
I let you down

There is a pain in you
The hope is kinda dying
Would you blame it on your smile
Now that you left and gone
It's not surprising, I can see it every time

I let you down and see your pain
You not around would you home again
Didn't know that you would had it
Wish that I could just rewind
I let you down never be the sameI let you down
I let you down
I let you down

I let you down and see your pain
You not around would you home again
Didn't know that you would had it
Wish that I could just rewind
I let you down never be the same

I let you down
I let you down
I let you down

I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
