We Let Her Down

Her father and her mother

Never showed her any affection at all

I wonder if it hurts her

now, now that it's too late

they call



We let her down, it's true

We let her down, it's true



I told her I'd be there

it's easy to say what you want to believe

I told her I'd love her, now

that it's too late I see



I let her down, it's true

I let her down

Let her down

Let her down

I let her down



So helpless, pretending,

hoping that somehow somebody

would see

So desperate for someone, I

guess that she thought that

someone was me



I let her down, it's true

I let her down

I let her down



Look at her, look through her eyes

Closer the hurt and the pain

I hope now she's somewhere

Where they'll never hurt her again
