Lyrics for Song: Let Me Down
Lyrics for Album: Stronger [2011]
I think I might be a fortune teller
I read your face just like a letter
The funny thing about forever
Is it comes with a side of never never
I can't buy into what you're selling
And no it's not that I don't want it
Believe me I'd love to close my eyes, enjoy the ride
But you reek of indecision and I
I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know
You're only gonna let me down
When it counts, you'll count down
You're only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you'll burn out
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
Right when I think we could be something
You'll go and let me down
Let me down, oh
I am too smart to let you in here
But I'm just dumb enough to linger
I wanna think that you'll be different
Smoke and mirrors are so clever clever
I'll pretend that things aren't so bad
That what you say will actually happen
I've been dying to open my eyes
See you try instead of always leaving me out to dry
I know, I know
You're only gonna let me down
When it counts, you'll count down
You're only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you'll burn out
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
Right when I think we could be something
You go and let me down, let me down, oh
I need you to be there when you say you're gonna be
I care too much and you'll care enough to leave
I want some place to rest my head without worrying
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
It's not fair to me
'Cause I know by now
You're only gonna let me down
When it counts, you'll count down
You're only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you'll burn out
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
Right when I think we could be something
You go and let me down, let me down
You're only gonna let me down
When it counts, you'll count down
You're only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you'll burn out
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
Right when I think we could be something
You go and let me down, let me down, oh

Let Me Down
Kelly Clarkson delivers a raw and emotionally charged performance on 'Let Me Down,' the title track from her 2011 album 'Stronger.' Released during her tenure as the American Idol winner, the song exemplifies her signature blend of pop sensibilities with powerful vocal delivery. The track serves as a centerpiece on the album, which marked a significant evolution in her sound, moving toward a more mature and introspective style. With its driving rhythm and poignant lyrics, the recording captures the frustration of a relationship that fails to provide the expected support. It stands as a defining moment in her discography, showcasing her ability to convey deep personal vulnerability within a polished pop framework. |
