Let Down
Palisades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatever you need, not there for me
Expecting you to be a remedy
Doin' what you please
Still makin' me sick at the thought of you and me
I stay with you
Then leave you for a week, don't answer calls
And I wish I could breathe
I'm so good for you but you're so bad for me, yeah
And it's hard to believe that it's me that you're missing
Now you're trying to speak and I don't wanna listen
'Cause you're a let down, let down
'Cause you're a let down, let down
Gimme one reason to make it right, yeah
Anything at all for another try, oh-oh
'Cause you're a let down, a let down
(Let down, let down)
('Cause you're a let down, let down)
Almost feel bad for you
You got my sympathy, I'm sober now
And I can finally see with clarity
Yeah, I can agree
You can take the heat, I'm sorry that I'm weak
I hate myself
For putting up with all your pointless fights
You were out to cheat, I blocked the phone
I bet we can agree
I've been good for you but you're so bad for me
'Cause you're a let down, let down
'Cause you're a let down, let down
Gimme one reason to make it right, yeah
Anything at all for another try, oh-oh
'Cause you're a let down, a let down
'Cause you're a let down, let down
So we're done
And it's hard to believe that it's me that you're missing
Now you're trying to speak and I don't wanna listen
'Cause you're a let down, let down
'Cause you're a let down, let down
Gimme one reason to make it right, yeah
Anything at all for another try, oh-oh
'Cause you're a let down, a let down
(Let down, let down)
('Cause you're a let down, let down)
The lyrics to Palisades's song Let Down delve into a toxic relationship that the singer has been in. The singer expresses how they have been nothing but good to their partner, always being there for them and doing what they please, expecting them to be a remedy. However, their partner makes them sick at the thought of being with them. The singer also mentions that they sometimes leave their partner for a week and don't answer calls, while at other times, their partner hangs up on them. They highlight the fact that they are good for their partner, but their partner is bad for them, making it hard for them to believe that it's them that their partner is missing, now that they're no longer together.
The singer expresses their emotions in a very direct manner, stating that their partner has let them down and they are no longer willing to listen to their apologies or reasons for another try. They mention that their partner is a let down and they need a reason to make it right, while acknowledging that they hate themselves for putting up with their partner's pointless fights and blocking their phone when they suspected cheating. Finally, the singer puts an end to their relationship and states that it's hard to believe that their partner is missing them.
Overall, the song is a raw and honest take on the dynamics of a toxic relationship where one partner holds on to the hope that things will work out while the other repeatedly lets them down. It highlights the emotional turmoil that comes with being in such a relationship and the difficulty in breaking free.

I've been so good to you
I have been a great partner to you
Whatever you need, not there for me
You never reciprocated my efforts
Expecting you to be a remedy
I thought being with you would fix things
Doin' what you please
You did whatever you wanted
Still makin' me sick at the thought of you and me
I feel nauseous thinking about us now
I stay with you
I stuck around
Then leave you for a week, don't answer calls
I would disappear for a while without any explanation
Or you're hung up on me? I'm by the phone
And when you wouldn't answer, I would be waiting by the phone
And I wish I could breathe
It was suffocating to deal with you
I'm so good for you but you're so bad for me, yeah
I was a great partner, but being with you was toxic
And it's hard to believe that it's me that you're missing
It's surprising that you're actually missing me now
Now you're trying to speak and I don't wanna listen
I don't want to hear from you now
'Cause you're a let down, let down
You always let me down
Gimme one reason to make it right, yeah
Give me a good reason to try again
Anything at all for another try, oh-oh
I'm willing to consider giving you another chance
'Cause you're a let down, a let down
But you disappointed me too many times
('Cause you're a let down, let down)
Almost feel bad for you
I almost pity you
You got my sympathy, I'm sober now
Now that I'm sober, I see things clearly and feel bad for you
And I can finally see with clarity
I have a better understanding of our situation now
Yeah, I can agree
And I can admit
You can take the heat, I'm sorry that I'm weak
That you can handle the situation, but I can't
I hate myself
I regret my past actions
For putting up with all your pointless fights
For tolerating all the nonsensical arguments we had
You were out to cheat, I blocked the phone
And when I found out you were cheating, I cut off contact
I bet we can agree
I'm pretty sure we both know
I've been good for you but you're so bad for me
That I was a great partner, but being with you was harmful
So we're done
So it's over between us
And it's hard to believe that it's me that you're missing
It's surprising that you're actually missing me now
Now you're trying to speak and I don't wanna listen
I don't want to hear from you now
