pour my tea, pour my thoughts into separate beds
spilling out in the clouds, whirling like a pirouette
every breath, every cross, everywhere i turn
in my head, stitching thread, until my temples burn
from the crease of your mouth to the picket fences
all the space, stretching out, blurring my defenses
dignity, diligence, i could not avenge
sink my teeth in the sheets and taste the emptiness
love is sweet, love is dark and it pulls
your world apart, so you can grow
now i see perfectly, oh how it’s clear
what i needed the most was you here
(chorus)
if i ever let you down
if i ever let you down
if i ever let you down
if i ever let you down
