[Verse 1] Out of touch and disconnected I had it all, oh and watched it slip away With the damage done, it's self-inflicted It's no surprise to find it all end up the same But then you shattered everything And all that's left is the truth and you and me And that's all I'll ever need to make sure that I don't do the same old stupid things [Chorus] I never said nothing when I should've said But this time's gonna be different I won't let you down, no See I'm the author of broken hearts I'm tired of causing pain, I didn't need to start And I won't let you down [Verse 2] Call it pride or indecision It took so long, oh, for me to say That I never loved with conviction Cause all I thought about was looking out for me But then you, you risked everything You came along and you saved me from myself And you won't ever see the shadow of the fool I used to be [Chorus] I never said nothing when I should've said But this time's gonna be different I won't let you down, no See I'm the author of broken hearts I'm tired of causing pain, I didn't need to start And I won't let you down, no I won't let you down [Bridge] Listen baby I know I made enough mistakes and there's only me to blame But honesty could never lie Then you can see the truth in my eyes I know I can't run from myself without hurting someone else So I'm standing my ground, won't be letting you down Cause I'd never do that to me, no [Chorus] Said I never said nothing when I should've said But this time's gonna be different I won't let you down, no See I'm the author of broken hearts I'm tired of causing pain, I didn't need to start And I won't let you down, no I won't let you down [Outro] I won't let you down
