Let Us All Down
Poor Mans Poison Lyrics

You've let us all down (let us all down)
The singer is disappointed in someone who they trusted to keep them safe after that person has betrayed them.

I thought you were the one
The singer had faith and trust in the person who let them down.

I thought this was our chance
The singer believed their relationship with this person was a new beginning, a fresh start.

To maybe find some kind of escape from the past
The artist hoped this relationship would be a way to move forward and escape the pain of the past.

I thought things would be different now
The artist believed their new relationship would be different and better than previous ones.

You see I really did try
The singer made a genuine effort to make the relationship work.

To keep my demons at bay and show you there's still a light
The singer wanted to overcome their own struggles and reassure their partner that there is hope and positivity in the world.

But you lied
The person the artist trusted and had faith in was not truthful and betrayed their trust.

And now it's everywhere I go
The pain and disappointment inflicted by the betrayal is constant and follows the artist wherever they go.

It's in everything I see
The pain affects even the things the artist used to find joy in.

It's all of the things I took for granted
The singer realizes that they did not appreciate or value the good things in their life until they were taken away.

And all of the things you took from me
The person who let the artist down not only betrayed their trust, but also took away things that were important to them.

So here's your freedom now
The singer is giving the person who let them down the freedom to leave and move on.

Just take it and go (take it and go)
The singer wants the person to leave quickly and not prolong the pain and disappointment any further.

There's nothing more to say
The singer has nothing left to say to the person who betrayed them.

Now that you know
The person who let the artist down is now aware that the artist knows what they did.

Your eyes don't look so truthful anymore
The artist can no longer trust the person who has betrayed them.

Your face can't hide those lies you're choking on now
The person who has betrayed the singer is struggling to continue hiding their guilt and lies.

I trusted you to keep this safe
The singer had faith that the person who let them down would protect and keep them safe.

And I believed you would try
The artist had faith that the person who let them down would make an effort to do what was right and protect them.

And this is how empty words
The person who let the artist down did not follow through on their promises.

Turn into empty lies
The promises made by the person who let the artist down were revealed to be lies.

And in your face everytime you look at me
The singer is reminded of the person who let them down every time they see their face.

And it's everywhere
The pain and disappointment the artist feels is all-encompassing and can be found in everything.

And it's everything
The pain and disappointment the singer feels affects all aspects of their life.

You did this to me
The singer holds the person who let them down responsible for the pain and disappointment they are experiencing.

Let us all down (let us all down)
The person who betrayed the singer also let down others who trusted and believed in them.
