I'm Gonna Let You Down

I'm gonna let you down
I'm gonna be thoughtless sometimes
And I'll forget the thing that you want me to remember

I'm gonna break your heart
I won't even know that I'm doing it
I won't mean to, and I hope you can forgive me


But that doesn't mean that I don't care
And that doesn't mean that I won't be there

I'm gonna mess things up, I'm gonna make you mad
Let me say sorry now, for when I make you sad
I'm gonna always try to be a friend to you
But I will let you down, sometimes...just like you've done too
Cuz we're only human... we make mistakes
Yet our good intentions could be everything

I'm gonna need a hug in the aftermath
I'm gonna need to know that friendship can last
Even when I do a careless thing or two
I'm gonna need to know it's true

That that doesn't mean that you don't care
And that doesn't mean that you won't be there

I'm gonna mess things up, I'm gonna make you mad
Let me say sorry now, for when I make you sad
I'm gonna always try to be a friend to you
But I will let you down, sometimes...just like you've done too
Cuz we're only human... we make mistakes
Yet our good intentions could be everything

But I will let you down, sometimes... I'm gonna let you down.

solo

I'm feeling so low
Solo
I'm feeling down low
low down bitch of a day
and there's no reason
just the season?
I can't stand the heat
and can't get out of the kitchen
so I'll just keep bitchin
solo
:(

Sitting on the Ledge

Day has won, feel the sun, as it slips onto the horizon
On the edge of the wedge of rock we call North Mountain
In it dips in tides that rip, all around the Fundy shore

But there's no one keeping score. 

Sitting on the ledge by the edge of the world's smallest harbour
Slipping through the cracks would take me... farther
But the falling onto stone, breaking bone, might hurt more than I wanna feel

Unlike hearts, broken heads don't heal.
