CRUELTY Track 10
Listen
We were young, young when we pulled in
To the heart of Texas, half past ten
I’d like to live those days again
Back before you let me down
The sky was big just like my dreams
A year or two ago, it seems
Like yesterday we were a team
Until you let me down
I wish I could make sense of you
We had a bond so rare so true
But your love shrunk as my love grew
And then you let me down
Was it fear of love or pain
That caused you to retreat, refrain
And does that foolish fear remain
That made you let me down
I wish we could make amends
But I can’t stand your loser friends
And I’ve seen other nasty trends
Since you let me down
You’re selfish in a subtle way
You have to win or you won’t play
Seems like I had one more thing to say
Ah, you let me down
To this day, you stand so tall
You shrug your shoulders while I fall
And every day that you don’t call
You once more let me down
