[Verse 1] I think I might be a fortune teller I read the words in your letter Without taking a single look No chapter written in our book You like to say it's for the better But then you go and get her I know where you were last night How could ask me if I'm alright? You sure know how to swing hard Saying you'll shatter the windows of my car Even if we get back to what we were Clearer pictures will fade back to a blur [Chorus] You're only gonna let me down When it counts, you're only gonna count down When it burns, you're only gonna burn out When I lift you up, you only wanna come down You're only gonna let me down When it's right, you'll scream it's wrong When the lights are off, you won't turn me on When we're on high water, you only wanna drown You're only gonna let me down Down, down, down; down down You're only gonna...

[Bridge] See I fight it (hey!) I shouldn't want it (hey!) But you need it (hey!) So won't you fight for it (hey!) And for once don't let me down [Chorus] You're only gonna let me down When it counts, you're only gonna count down When it burns, you're only gonna burn out When I lift you up, you only wanna come down You're only gonna let me down When it's right, you'll scream it's wrong When the lights are off, you won't turn me on When we're on high water, you only wanna drown You're only gonna let me down Down, down, down; down down You're only gonna... [Outro] I think I might be a fortune teller I knew this would end for the better
