[Verse 1]
You took me by surprise
A stranger through my eager eyes
An ego that's been spilt and spoiled by another

[Refrain]
But don't let me bring you down
No, don't let me bring you down
No, don't let me bring you down again

[Verse 2]
I tried so hard to hide
The cynic in me far from sight
But moments still arise when my flaws get the best of me

[Refrain]
So, don't let me bring you down
No, don't let me bring you down
So, don't let me bring you down again

[Bridge]
Every sudden feeling of helplessness
Lead me down to the bottom of myself
And I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't wait for you
Devils bound about in my heart
Singing loud enough to drown out beauty I'm missing
And I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't wait for you
[Refrain]
So, don't let me bring you down
No, don't let me bring you down
No, don't let me bring you down again
