You were waiting for me, you saw me, adored me
As I wish the whole world would
You would never hurt me, desert me or work me
For all the things you thought you could
You would lick the tears from my eyes when I cry
How I missed you when I was gone
Hurt me so to leave you deceive you, I need you
I believed in you.

Oh, I never meant to let you down
I wait with a stake in my heart
I never meant to put you down
I'm trying not to fall apart

Now all I have is riches, and pictures, and stitches
But money could never buy what you gave
Though my heart is achin' and breakin' I'm makin'
The most of what you send my way

Now I want just to hold you, unfold you, I told you
See, I am coming back for you
Yeah, I know we will be okay. Everyday
The sun shines a little brighter

I, I never meant to let you down
I wait with a stake in my heart
I never meant to put you down
I'm trying not to fall apart

I never meant to let you down
I wait with a stake in my heart
I never meant to put you down
I'm trying not to fall apart
I'm trying not to fall apart

We'll reunite, oh we'll set a light
I'm wishing with all of my mind

I never meant to let you down
I never meant to put you down
I'm trying not to fall apart
I never meant to let you down
I never meant to put you down
I'm trying not to fall
