Never Let You Down
Thorsteinn Einarsson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another night I couldn't sleep
The weight of the world, weight of the world on my shoulders
Ready to drop
Keep running these thoughts, wish they would stop
I'm waiting
for the sound of your voice
so pull me back to right(?) here and now
And someone, who's never a choice

Hold me 'cause I'm close to breaking
I'll hold you till the end of time
'Cause you would never believe in what mess I am
I wish I never let you down

If I could only rest my thoughts
(...) embrace, they are embraced (?)

(Continuation coming soon)
