Backstory:
I wrote this because I found the concept of not being loved like a movie with a sad ending that no one enjoyed. So I thought if this song had a twist on that theme, it might be more satisfying. Not loved, so you love yourself more. They let you down, so you won’t do that to yourself. It has “I’m doing this in spite of you” feeling.
Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
You promised me forever, but your words ran dry
I gave you my heart, but you let it go
You loved someone else while I stood by
Now I’m learning I don’t need you at all
The silence told me what I wouldn’t hear
Told me the truth I denied
(Chorus)
I won’t let me down like you did
Love me when you said you loved someone else more
Be everything you weren’t for me
Won’t break my own heart
Love me right
Be a better partner to myself than you ever could
I won’t let me down the way you did
(Verse 2)
You said you cared, but your eyes held lies
I trusted in a love that was never mine
Know you’re happier without me
Still hate you for it though
Love from you ain’t worth loosing me
So kiss on, it won’t be me no more
The pain you gave me taught me how to heal
(Chorus)
I won’t let me down like you did
Love me when you said you loved someone else more
Be everything you weren’t for me
Won’t break my own heart
Love me right
Be a better partner to myself than you ever could
I won’t let me down the way you did
(Bridge)
Your selfish love taught me to love myself
Because your stupid acts got you here
Stupid you
Stupid me
Stupid love
But at least I’ll love myself
I won’t leave my love
I’ll stay true
Unlike you
(Chorus)
I won’t let me down like you did
Love me when you said you loved someone else more
Be everything you weren’t for me
(Outro)
I’ll hold my heart the way you never would
I’ll build a life where I’ll always be loved
You let me go, you lost and I’m found
I won’t let me down
Unlike you
