Let Me Down

Let Me Down

No Use For A Name
(album: Hard Rock Bottom)

She´s never alone, because she´s scared of what she might say to herself
Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in
A half-hearted grin

She won´t be afraid as long as that prescription keeps going through

And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard cut out of someone,
I use to learn from

But on the phone, she´s telling everyone, that there was a blue sky, she left behind
And there´s a place that no one knows about,
Away from integrity she writes a book in her head that nobody will read

Whatever you say, please don´t talk about the time when she was young
Apparently that was a different person and so long ago it´s strange to me,
there´s no history

But there´s a past and she´s telling everyone
It must be a garden, that wouldn´t grow With roots of shame,
too sensitive to blame to herself as we watch he drown,
I can´t save the queen without a kingdom or a crown

Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy there is a selfish dream
That makes me sick
Standing on the high wire while you´re on the ground
To you what is dangerous is safe and sound...
You let me down
