The Highballers - Live To Let You Down lyrics
Your rating:
She put some flowers on the pillow Ribbon around that weeping willow And welcomed me home one more time She clipped the hedges and mowed the lawn Cleaned and painted the wooden barn Simple gestures and hard labor Showed that she would be fine. I came in and hardly noticed She's in her best Sunday dress I didn't bother to look her in the eye. It made her want to just die. Because I live to let you down How I hoped and I prayed Our love would turn around But I live to let you down I dropped to my knees to the ground Wondering how I let you down How could you feel so alone When my love is so strong. You walked inside and closed the door Threw the flowers on the floor As I stared at the willow where the ribbon was tied. I lay my head down and cried As a shot rang from inside I knew me husband was gone I tried to please you for so long Because I live to let you down How I hoped and I prayed Our love would turn around I guess I live to let you down
