I will let you down
When you need me
I will let you down
When you don't
I will let you down

When you're friendless
I will let you down
When your known

Believe me
It's the hardest thing
To leave this skin
And these bones
But girl I'll try
A trillion times
Because I love you alone

I will let you down
In the summer
I will let you down
In the spring
I will let you down
When the rains moan
I will let you down
When sunlight sings

Believe me
It's the hardest thing
To leave this skin
And these bones
But girl I'll try
A trillion times
Because I love you alone
I love you alone

I will let you down
With my actions
I will let you down
With my tongue
I will let you down
With my story
I will let you down
With my song

Believe me
It's the hardest thing
To leave this skin
And these bones
But girl I'll try
A trillion times
Because I love you

Will you stand
By the man
Who was against his skin
And his bones
But girl I'll try
It takes a trillion times
Because I love you alone
