Let You Down

I call it what it was
It was the summer that ended
And how the darkness defended me!
I cool my eyes on the highway
I now know there is more than just my way to see

I was alive in battle
A kind of shadow
I know when sober
I hide in colour
Caught in the gaze of your life
Amazed in awe I
I know I'm shelter from all that matters

I'm a raging fire on my way down
But I recall it well, we made quite the sound
As the final piece of the puzzle's found
If you were mine for a second darlin'
I would have let you down

I'm 'a look in the ditch for all that I thought was beauty
Maybe I threw out something that I need
I cool my eyes in the daylight
I now know that I can speak right

I was a way to shatter all that mattered
I know when sober
I hide in colour
Caught in the rays of your eyes
I gaze I awe I
I know I'm shelter from all that matters

I'm a raging fire on my way down
But I recall it well, we made quite the sound
As the final piece of the puzzle's found
If you were mine for a second darlin'
I would have let you down
It's a state I'm in and I won't come round
Until I take a fall
Until I lose it all
I could be with you
If it made any sense at all
If you were mine for a second, I’m certain
I would have done you wrong
