Let Down
by John Michael Ray

It was only one lost night
That went from bad, to good, to bad
Poor judgement, bad decisions
Cost me everything I had
The betrayal in your eyes
That sad look on your face
As you stood in disbelief
And watched my fall from grace

And if you never listen to me again
Please listen now

Thank you girl, for loving me
For showing me what I could be
For being there each time I turned around
Thank you for the time we spent
A dream come true, Heaven sent
I'm sorry girl, I let you down

I can't begin to explain
What was going through my mind
What was it I was seeking
What did I hope to find
The hurt you must have gone through
'Cause I gave in to that lust
To watch our dreams come tumbling down
To shatter all your trust

And if you never listen to me again
Please listen now

Thank you girl, for loving me
For showing me what I could be
For being there each time I turned around
Thank you for the time we spent
A dream come true, Heaven sent
I'm sorry girl, I let you down

For once my words can't help me
They've been buried under lies
All it took was my one low
To erase all of our highs
It used to be about forgiveness
And to give that second chance
Just as every sinner gets a future
Every saint has got a past

And if you never listen to me again
Please listen now

Thank you girl, for loving me
For showing me what I could be
For being there each time I turned around
Thank you for the time we spent
A dream come true, Heaven sent
I'm sorry girl, I let you down

You know what's wrong with relationships today?
At the first sign of trouble, it's so easy to block
someone from your 'friends' list, or 'contact' list.
Then you can delete them as if they never existed.
Then there's always the threat of harassment if
you try to contact them. That's a big one these days.
You can't even 'beg' someone to work things out.
So really, you're left with nothing. You can't even
fight for someone, for fear of ending up deleted,
blocked, or worse yet, charged. Everyone has a
syndrome or label to justify it. And people wonder
why things don't work out the way they used to.
Our society has made it too damn easy to say
'Good-bye' forever, without a fight.
