Well, I heard that it was painless
So I figured I would try it
I was tired of feeling aimless
And I just could not deny it anymore
I just didn't give a damn
I'd been looking for an answer
But could never seem to find it
Used to eat me like a cancer
But now I don't seem to mind it anymore
It's a part of who I am
Well, the life that I'd been living
Oh, I couldn't bear it further
So I finally went to give in
But a voice inside me whispered, "Settle down -
Take a step back, clear your head
"You've got soul and you've got spirit
And you never can forget it
Though your instinct is to fear it
It'll kill you if you let it get you down"
So I left myself for dead
'Cause I'd had my fill of grieving
For the life I might have led
So I set my sights on leaving
And I meant it when I said
Well I'm too proud not to yield
And it's too much for me to face
So I'll bow out now before I allow
My life to have become a waste
'Cause my faith just can't be healed
And there's nothing that you can say
That can prove to me it'll ever be
Any other way
Life won't let me down
Life won't let me down
Life won't let me down
Seven years have passed me by now
And I'm sitting in a café
As I'm doing my best to hide how
I keep going back to that day in my mind
Wondering where did I go wrong
But I lean back and I listen
To the people all around me
When I feel like something's missing
And it really helps to ground me in my mind
Lets me move myself along
I'm not saying my life is perfect
Or that love has set me free
I'm just telling you it's worth it
'Cause I've slowly come to see
Well I'm too proud not to yield
And I've got everything I need
So I guess I'll go with the good old flow
And see the kind of life I'll lead
'Cause our fates are never sealed
And there's always another way
Because lord, I swear if you hang in there
Then you'll have your day
Life won't let you down
Life won't let you down
Life won't let you down
