Jeff Manseau - Don't Let Me Let You Down Lyrics

Everybody knows somebody that they just can-not-stand
That somebody for me is me and it's not what I had planned
How could I ever let you slip through my hands?
If I could go back now I'd make you understand

Don't tell me that you love me, don't ever tell me that
Don't tell me you love me, I cannot say it back
'Cause if we get too close, you won't see me around
When we get too close I just keep shutting you out
I'm scared if we get too close, I'll just keep dragging you down
So don't get too close, don't let me let you down

I never said I'm sorry, but that don't mean-I'm-not
I would say it right now, but that would not mean-a-lot
Coming from someone like me, who's better off on his own
Before you fall for me, let this one thing be known

Don't tell me that you love me, don't ever tell me that
Don't tell me you love me, I cannot say it back
'Cause if we get too close, you won't see me around
When we get too close I just keep shutting you out
I'm scared if we get too close, you won't see me around
So don't get too close, don't let me let you down

My mind's a tragedy
My life's a travesty
Why the f*ck are you with me
I destroy everything around me

Don't tell me that you love me, I cannot say it back
'Cause if we get too close, you won't see me around
When we get too close I just keep shutting you out
I'm scared if we get too close, you won't see me around
So don't get too close, don't let me let you down

Don't me let you down
Let you down
