Holding Absence
False Dawn (Single Edit)
[Verse 1]
So it's four in the morning and I'm mourning
All the versions of my person I could have been
[Refrain]
From humble beginnings to humble ends
Turns out I don't amount to anything
There's a prophecy of me that's been seen
But I just don't believe it
(Oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
So I'm coming to grips with my failings
All the chances I'm inhaling and I'm wasting
[Refrain]
From humble beginnings to humble ends
Yeah, I'm goin' nowhere, from whence I came
There's a prophecy of me that's been seen
But I just don't believe it
I just don't believe it
[Chorus]
Save your faith, I'll let you down again
(I'll let you down now, I'll let you down now)
Wеll, I'm failing you and I'm failing myself
(I'll let you down now, I'll let you down now)
'Causе I'm a false dawn lying through my teeth
On the horizon, there's nothing left to see
Save your faith, I'll let you down again
(I'll let you down now, I'll let you down now)
[Verse 3]
Now I know that all my hope is just a hoaxing
Every well that I wish in is failure-provoking
[Refrain]
From humble beginnings to humble ends
Baby, I'm a loser, don't mean a thing
Prophecies of me have been seen
That I just don't believe in
[Chorus]
Save your faith, I'll let you down again
(I'll let you down now, I'll let you down now)
Well, I'm failing you and I'm failing myself
(I'll let you down now, I'll let you down now)
'Cause I'm a false dawn lying through my teeth
On the horizon, there's nothing left to see
Save your faith, I'll let you down again
(I'll let you down now, I'll let you down now)
[Bridge]
If I'm willing to be lucky again
I hope that providence is luminous enough
To show me the way
To show me the way
[Chorus]
Save your faith, I'll let you down again
(I'll let you down now, I'll let you down now)
Well, I'm failing you and I'm failing myself
(I'll let you down now, I'll let you down now)
'Cause I'm a false dawn lying through my teeth
On the horizon, there's nothing left to see
Save your faith, I'll let you down again
(I'll let you down now, I'll let you down now)
