[Verse 1]

Oh, 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

And 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 needed you

I believed in you

[Chorus]

Oh, I, I never meant to let you down

I'll wait with a stake in my heart

I never meant to put you down

I'm trying not to fall apart

[Verse 2]

Now all I have is riches and pictures and stitches

Money could never buy what you gave

And 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

[Chorus]

Oh, I, I never meant to let you down

I'll 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'll wait with a stake in my heart

I never meant to put you down

I'm trying not to fall apart

[Bridge]

I'm trying not to fall apart

We'll reunite, oh, we'll set a light

I'm pushing with all of my might

[Chorus]

Oh no, 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

Yeah, I'm trying not to fall
