I let you down

Remember many months ago, when I told you

That I'd have dinner with your parents, only to

Cancel plans last minute, and then skip town

Oh, remember the first time I let you down?

Remember many months later, in October gray

Your friends were celebrating, but I forgot your birthday

That day, nobody could wipe off your frown

Remember the second time I let you down?

I never really wanted it, I was always so unsure

But I still got on one knee and you gave me a smile so pure

And today, you're waiting in your white gown

And it'll be the last time I let you down

This is written from the perspective of someone who was constantly on the verge of leaving, but just couldn't. And yet they didn't give the relationship their best, in fact they constantly let their significant other down. Then they proposed due to pressure from the people around, only to get cold feet just before the wedding. And it was the last time they let their significant other down.
