Lyrics of Won’t Let You Down by Calum Scott
verse
The love of your life
He′s treating you wrong
You stand by his side
He lies all along
It's the fairytale you want
But the glimmer in your eyes have gone
And now you′re alone
I'll lend you my shoulder to cry on
chorus
I won't let you down, this time around
I′ll show you how, no matter how far
Don′t care where you are
I won't let you down
verse
Thanks for the tears, the pain that you caused
And now you′re just a memory
An old familiar melody, she's heard before, hmm
It′s a fairytale you ended
Done with you pretending you're the fool
Oh, you′re the fool
And now she's alone
I'll give her my hand to hold on to
chorus
I won′t let you down, this time around
And I′ll show you how, no matter how far
Don't care where you are
I won′t let you down
bridge
And I see, now my eyes are open
I know your tears have spoken
I can't fix all that is broken
My feet on the ground
chorus
But I won′t let you down, this time around
I'll show you how, no matter how far
But I won′t let you down, this time around
And I'll show you how, no matter how far
Don't care where you are
I won′t let you down
Writer(s): Phil Cook, Corey Sanders, Scott Calum
