Let Down
Rides Again Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I swear I will listen, today I'm gonna try
Everytime that you proved me wrong
Baby I know you were right
You say we can make it, I can't take anymore
I'm gonna love you, I always will
But I ain't what you're looking for

Hold on pretty baby you'll be let down
You'll be let down
Hold on pretty baby you'll be let down
I will let you down
Hold on, wait for the end of the world
Hold on, wait for the end of the world

Shame, shame on ya baby, don't say I made you cry
When I turned and I walked away
The were no tear drops in your eyes
Don't need anyone, I am moving on
I'm walking face first through the door
Cuz I ain't what you're looking for

Hold on pretty baby you'll be let down
You'll be let down
Hold on pretty baby you'll be let down
I will let you down
Hold on, wait for the end of the world
Hold on, wait for the end of the world

[X2]
Hear me out hear me out now
This is where I will be found
All my life this is where I wanted to be

Hold on pretty baby you'll be let down
You'll be let down
Hold on pretty baby you'll be let down
I will let you down
Hold on, wait for the end of the world
Hold on, wait for the end of the world




Wait for the end of the world
Wait for the end
