Let Downs Lyrics by Marlinspike

Old Scores & New Horizons

2008

[Verse 1]
I'll tell you one thing
In this cruel word there ain't guarantees
They'll tell you one thing
Then do another with no conscience, with ease
I learned the hard way
Sorry to say you can take it from me
Know who your friends are
Sabotage can suck when you never had plan B

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Always have a plan B

[Chorus]
Built up, let down
Just when you thought maybe this time you'll win
Kicked when you're down
You faith and your confidence wearing so thin
Always hoping
Next time just don't get your hopes up again

[Verse 2]
It's been a tough ride
You could say I'm bitter, but thеn you would be too
But on the outside
Things couldn't bе better, it's what you gotta do
Don't let 'em get you
They'll suck you down in a toilet of despair
They'll never get you
If you go down fighting all the way there

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Down fighting all the way there

[Chorus]
Built up, let down
Just when you thought maybe this time you'll win
Kicked when you're down
You faith and your confidence wearing so thin
Always hoping
Next time just don't get your hopes up again

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Built up, let down
Just when you thought maybe this time you'll win
Kicked when you're down
You faith and your confidence wearing so thin
Always hoping
Next time just don't get your hopes up again
