Don't Let Me Down Lyrics - Amel Larrieux

I watch your lips moving 

I see the words taking shape 

But love's like a language 

I cannot translate 

I can't afford to be careless 

And let you in 

I turn my head for one minute 

And lose everything 

Wish I had someone whom I could lean 

Cause everybody's always counting on me 

With my hands held real tight 

Always ready to fight 

For the few pieces of joy I have now 

You have turned on a light 

And I've lost my sight 

But my heart still remembers the sound 

Of a dream of a love one day found 

Of a dream of a love one day found 

So don't let me down 

Your past it may be rocky 

But your present is clear 

My present situation 

Is the sum of all my fears 

I take responsibility for the few things I done right 

But I got so much on my plate 

I'm scared to take another bite 

Wish I had someone on whom I could lean 

Still I don't want no one's charity 

With my hands held real tight 

Always ready to fight 

For the few pieces of joy I have now 

You have turned on a light 

And I've lost my sight 

But my heart still remembers the sound 

Of a dream of a love one day found 

Heartbreak and bullets can try 

To steal any good from my life 

Fathers and lovers have lied 

Rivers have flowed from my eyes 

Never seen love face to face 

Just seen it walking away 

Why would you think I would recognize 

Something that's never been mine 

You have turned on a light 

And I've lost my sight 

But my heart still remembers the sound 

Of a dream of a love one day found 

You're the dream of a love one day found 

And the freedom from what kept me bound 

And a promise of staying around 

My eyes may not work for me now 

But my heart sure remembers the sound 

So if you saying it 

Please say it loud 

And don't let me down
