\"Sometimes<\/p>\n

T<\/span>he Let Down.<\/p>\n

He didn’t see it coming.<\/p>\n

He thought he was happy. Maybe, even, in love. And for the longest time she seemed to be in love with him.<\/p>\n

In fact, he kept telling himself, there was no reason to think she wasn’t, still.<\/p>\n

So, why did he feel like it was inevitable?<\/p>\n

And, knowing its inevitability, there seemed no reason to put it off.<\/p>\n\n

Sometimes<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes I think about ya
\nthink about, think about
\nthink about the things
\nI thought I’d do for you<\/p>\n

Sometimes I wonder
\nhow you’re doing now
\nI think about it
\nbut I think it turned out best
\nwhen I think it through<\/p>\n

I know I let you down
\nI let you down, I let you down
\nI let ya down hard
\nand I blamed it all on you<\/p>\n

I threw your love away
\nand I laughed and I laughed
\nI laughed until I died
\nand when I came to…<\/p>\n

the world — it was dead
\nand I walked around and I walked around
\nI walked around the world
\nbut I couldn’t find you<\/p>\n

I tore my soul open
\nit was empty, it was empty
\na tunnel into nowhere
\nand I never got thru<\/p>\n

sometimes I think about ya<\/span>
\nthink about ya, think about ya<\/span>
\nthink about the world I mighta had with you<\/span>
