Do you remember when I let you know my truth
And you said you felt as if I had betrayed you?
I asked for understanding, but you then declared
There was nothing I could offer to persuade you
Looks like I've let you down again
I went off and evolved away from childhood self and easy dogma
Looks like I let you down again
And the let-down's likely all that will remain
Do you remember when you needed me to be with you
While you grappled with the weight of Pascal's Wager?
I do recall that as we talked throughout that lonely night
That I stood within the glow of your good nature
Looks like I've let you down again, my oldest friend
I've gone and done the opposite of all you thought you knew about me
Looks like I've let you down again, and now it seems to me
The let-down's sadly all that will remain
The shadows of my spirit lingered pale and thin and ugly
I braced myself against the cold wind of insecurity
Your judgment really reeks of deep hypocrisy
So what if I let down my guard?
Why is my existence so damned hard for you?
Looks like I've let you down again
You say that you won't follow where my path is taking me tomorrow
Looks like I let you down again, and now I think I see
The let-down's mostly all that will remain
Do you remember when we vowed to help each other
Whether times were good or crashing down all around us?
You listened but did not hear my anguished cry
You abandoned me when I needed you the most
Looks like I've let you down again
I've gone and done the opposite of all you thought you knew about me
Looks like I've let you down again, and now I understand
The let-down's clearly all that will remain
Looks like I've let you down again, my oldest friend
I went off and evolved away from childhood self and simple dogma
Looks like I've let you down again, and now I understand
The let-down's clearly all that will remain
Looks like I'll let you down again
I've gone and done the opposite of all you thought you knew about me
Looks like I've let you down again, and now I understand
The let-down's simply all that will remain
