[Verse 1:]
So I'm the one who’s always important
Thorn in paw or like the cracks in porcelain
To take a spike and dig it through the connection
I thought there'd be two at the section
But I take it alone
Point of pride as I take you back home
And I sit and wait for another day
To play pretend of acceptance

[Chorus:]
And I don't wanna be the one who’s gonna let you down
I don't wanna be the one to tell you
I don't wanna be the one who's gonna let you down
I don't wanna be the one to tell you
I don't wanna be the one who's gonna let you down
I don't wanna be the one to tell you
I don’t wanna be the one who’s gonna let you down
I don't wanna be the one to tell you

[Verse 2:]
Fine so this is what it means to be dulled
To shoot the shit when the shit gets old
But I still have all of my life ahead
To reflect on the regrettable words I said
And the actions I took
Or refused to take
And you look ahead
But some of our futures are fake
[Chorus:]
And I don’t wanna be the one who's gonna let you down
I don't wanna be the one to tell you
I don't wanna be the one who’s gonna let you down
I don't wanna be the one to tell you
I don't wanna be the one who's gonna let you down
I don't wanna be the one to tell you
I don't wanna be the one who's gonna let you down
I don't wanna be the one to tell you

[Pre-Verse:]
Have you ever made a promise that you knew you couldn't keep?
Then when you break it, is it really so bad? Because

[Verse 3:]
You never meant it anyway
And that's the excuse I'm going with
I found some kind of best decision
And I just don't think you need to know this
So okay, I admit I'm fucked up
And you don't deserve to be lied to
But I've done way worse before
And you just never found out
And I don't wanna

[Bridge:]
When everyone's counting on you
Everyone's counting on you
Everyone's counting on you
Everyone's counting on you
Everyone's counting on you
Everyone's counting on you
Everyone's counting on you
And you let them down every fucking time!
[Verse 4:]
I'm done with the lies if this is how it pays back in the end
I am crawling on the floor here, man, I'm fucked up in the head
After all ordeals are over, I just feel like I've lost myself
As you remain certain of one thing you call yourself

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna have to be the one who's gonna let you down
But I don't wanna be the one to tell you
I don't wanna be the one who's gonna let you down
I don't wanna be the one to tell you
I don't wanna be the one who's gonna let you down
I don't wanna be the one to tell you
I don't wanna be the one who's gonna let you down
I don't wanna be the one to tell you
