Well, 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

Yeah, you would lick the tears from my eyes when I cry
Oh, how I missed you when I was gone
Hurt me so to leave you, deceive you, I needed you
I believed in you

Oh, I, I never meant to let you down
I'll wait with a stake in my heart
I, I will never put you down
And I'm trying not to fall apart

Now all I have is riches and pictures and stitches
But money could never buy what you gave
And though my heart is aching and breaking, I'm taking
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
I know we will be okay everyday
The sun shines a little brighter

Oh, I, I never meant to let you down
I'll wait with a stake in my heart
I, I will never put you down
And I'm trying not to fall apart

I never meant to let you down
I'll wait with a stake in my heart
I, I will never put you down
And I'm trying not to fall apart
And I'm trying not to fall apart

Oh, we'll reunite, oh we'll set a light
I'm wishing with all of my mind

Oh no, 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

I, I never meant to let you down (I'll wait with a stake in my heart)
I, I will never put you down
And I'm trying not to fall
