I'll let you down

You think we have it all
Everything is locked up real tight
But there are things that I must confess
And no longer hide

History I'm doomed to repeat
Deceit I don't wanna defeat you
But when things turn bad you know
I'm only gonna wanna breeze through

I'll never get out
I'll never leave this town
You know I'm gonna let you down
I'm sorry but I'll let you down

Don't need to look in no mirror
Fears reflected in your eyes
And I never claimed to be wise
Everyone can't tell the same lie

I got the training but
There's no explaining
My flawed psychology
But those letters and all the definitions
Hardly make an apology

You know I'm gonna let you down
And you know I don't wanna defeat you
If I could change I'd do it now
But you know next time around
I'd still let you down

Maybe I'll creep back someday
And return to the scene of the crime
But I wouldn't take that gamble
Some things don't change with time

Some day I almost wish
I shared your romantic notions
Those days I want your kiss
But I can't share your devotion
