Let In, Let Down

So this is how this has to end?

I thought you'd always be my friend

You took the better parts of me

Long nights of waiting by the phone

Cold silence never cut so deep

I guess I'm better off alone

You gave me your word when I said I would fall

And all that I needed was anything at all

I let you in, you let me down

(down)

I scream and you don't make a sound

(sound)

I let you in, you let me down

(down)

Now all I want is just to know

How you could ever let this go

I'm left with all that's said and done

Those empty words are all the same

I should've known what you'd become

Another year washed down the drain

The scars on my chest from what you can't undo

But what hurts me the most is I can't get over you

I let you in, you let me down

(down)

I scream and you don't make a sound

(sound)

I let you in, you let me down

(down)

Now all I want is just to know

How you could ever let this go

So this is how this has to end

And I thought you'd always be my friend

But I guess you won't and I can't forget

How everything was just a mess

When you were here, I couldn't breathe

I just kept drowning underneath

I let you in, you let me down

I scream and you don't make a sound

I let you in, you let me down

Now all I want is just to know

How you could ever let this

I let you in, you let me

Down

I scream and you don't make a sound

(sound)

I let you in, you let me down

(down)

Now all I want is just to know

How you could ever let this go

Why did you let me go?
