It describes the emotions on both sides of the relationship, and creates the vibe of a sour aftermath, where this imaginary pair are debating getting back together, but the speaker...
[Intro: Both]
Don't let me down, down
Don't let me down again
I'm just gonna burn out
And fall out of my head
[Verse 1: BENEE]
I let myself slip away
I've fallen to your arms again
Wrapped in your warm embrace
Stay this way for me
Kinda funny how you thought I'd wait
Even tell me that I've changed
I don't wanna make it worse
There's nothin' I can say
[Pre-Chorus: BENEE]
If you took a walk in my shoes
You'd know why I don't wanna be with you
And now you're askin' if I'll take you back
But, boy, I'm sorry, but I can't do that
[Chorus: BENEE, Both]
Don't let me down, down
Don't let me down again
I'm just gonna burn out
And fall out of my head
D-d-d-don't let me down, down
Don't let me down again
I'm just gonna burn out
And fall out of my head
[Verse 2: Gus Dapperton]
I let myself ride the wave
I've fallеn to my childish ways
And put our lives on display
For everyonе to judge
I can't believe I drove our time away
At the speed of an ultraviolet ray
Though I try my hand at wakin' up
You know I'll never budge
[Pre-Chorus: Both, Gus Dapperton]
If you took a walk in my shoes (If you took a walk in my)
You'd know why I don't wanna be with you (I don't wanna be with you)
And now you're askin' if I'll take you back (You're askin' if I'll take you)
But, boy, I'm sorry, but I can't do that
[Chorus: BENEE, Both]
Don't let me down, down
Don't let me down again
I'm just gonna burn out
And fall out of my head
D-d-d-don't let me down, down
Don't let me down again
I'm just gonna burn out
And fall out of my head
