Lyrics from IG Live


[Verse 1]

Loosen up your grip, you're holdin' too tight

You're out in the school yard, in broad day light

Don't want the other kids to think I'm weak

You let go so quick, and didn't speak


[Pre-Chorus]

Is that the finale, our last curtain call?

I try to remember but I've hit a wall

There's so many questions, it's almost over now


[Chorus]

Why'd I let you down?

Why?

Why'd I let you down?

Why?

Why?

Why'd I let you down?

Ooh-ooh-ooh


[Verse 2]

Can't pick up the phone, but I'll call you back

You know I'm busy, you understand

You wait for a ring, but I forget

I'll try you tomorrow, so don't you afraid


[Pre-Chorus]

Now is that the finale, our last curtain call?

I try to remember but I've hit a wall

There's so many questions, it's almost over now


[Chorus]

Why'd I let you down?

Why?

Why'd I let you down?

Why?

Why?

Why'd I let you down?

Why?

Why'd I let you down?

Ooh-ooh-ooh


[Outro]

Tighten up your grip, I wanna say good night

But you aren't respondin', there's an end in sight

I'm sorry for my shame, and that I didn't call

I thought we'd have more time, but I was wrong
