Let Me Down
Lyrics from Preview

[Intro]
Yeah
It's fucked up, yeah

[Verse 1]
Kevin was a young man chasin' goals
Met a girl named Ashley, and they tried to take it slow
She was all broken, heart was real froze
He was all open, heart was real gold
He could tell that she wanted love, just need convincin'
She could tell that he meant well, he would listen—
To what she was going through, he would shorten the pain
But at the same time, she thinkin' it's just part of his game
She's been hurt in the past, you know, beaten and lied to
Same dudes that cheated, were the ones she would cry to
See, they had it twisted, thinkin' it was her fault
Now, she doesn't trust anyone, even her thoughts
So, she started runnin' games like her exes
Kevin came along at the height of her deception
As she felt a spark, not enough to make exceptions
How did men love while she was off gettin' pregnant?
With another dude that Kevin always used to question
She would just deny it, get to undressin'
Fuck him just to shut him up and he still asked
She was too far gone, though, becomin' the past
She would lie, he would plead for the truth
Kevin hung around, actually had him in a noose
'Til one night Kevin brought a gun and lost it
The last thing he told Ashley before he cocked it was, "Will you let me?" (Damn)
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
Down, let me down, down
Let me down, let me down
Down, let me down, down
Let me down, if you—
Down, let me down, down
Let me down, let me down
Down, let me down, down, let me down
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly
Let me down

[Verse 2]
Now, Megan was seventeen, she was a senior
Friends with the pretty girls, jocks, cheerleaders
Got good grades, she was loved by her teachers
Friday night games, she would party in the bleachers
Life so easy, parents both well-off
Breakfast every morning with each other, eatin' Kellogg
Megan got it good, she ain't worried 'bout shit
But one Friday night changed her life in a blink
Post-game party at the star player's house
Got kegs, got weed, 'cause his parents outta town
Megan and her friends all drinkin'
Typical football players on a high, they invincible
Megan had enough, she stumbled upstairs
Down the bed, locked the door and laid right down
Tryna sober up, starts to hear the lock jiggle
Star player opens up the door and just giggles
She's on the bed and he takes it as a signal
She tries to resist, she's so drunk, she feels crippled
Plus, he's 6'2" and she's barely five feet
She's laying on the bed, gettin' raped, "Why me?"
He finishes up, makin' shy
She shakin', her thoughts do tornadoes
Her eyes start rainin'
Next couple weeks, she fell lower then she ever did
Tried to tell the principal, but he said there's no evidence
Tried to tell her friends, the police, they ain't believe her
They were on the star player's side, even the teachers
Megan felt helpless, so one day, she skipped class
She was goin' home, she was drivin' real fast
Parents at work, so, Megan's all alone
So, she closes the garage, finds a stool and a rope
Tears in her eyes, ain't no other way out
Before she hung herself, the only thing she thought about
Was, "You all let me—" (Damn, fuck y'all)
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
Down, let me down, down
Let me down, let me down
Down, let me down, down
Let me down, if you—
Down, let me down, down
Let me down, let me down
Down, let me down, down, let me down
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly
Let me down
