Let Me Down

Tate's View

Something was off about Y/n. Normally she always seemed happy to be around me but it all just stopped.

You evergreened the fire in my past

Y/n let me go through her phone willingly but there was nothing there. She was just letting go slowly but surely. I couldn't stay with her.

Can't run free if I keep looking back

I'm still not sure why Y/n started feeling that way but she didn't try to fight it and say she didn't want to lose me.

It's a lost cause, it's a bad bet
It's a storm but gotta face it

Y/n's View

"So why'd you break up? Who broke up with who?" Kate asks.

Oh, I

"It was more of a mutual decision but she actual said she wanted to break up. I let her down." I say.

I love you but you let me down

"What does that mean?" Kate asks.

Yeah, oh, I

"Exactly what I said, I let her down." I say.

I love you but you let me down

"I promised her forever but I could barely handle 8 months." I say.

The last time for an eternity

"Tate always has good days but she had the occasional bad day. When it was a bad day, it was really bad. I couldn't handle it." I say.

"I couldn't only want to be with her when she had good days. It was all or nothing and I couldn't give all." I say.

You're only mine when I am on my feet

"I didn't have it in me to break things off. I just slowly slipped away and eventually Tate broke it off." I say.

You're elusive and it kills me
Inconclusive, never-ending

"I didn't cheat or anything I was just exhausted and couldn't give anymore." I say.

Oh, I
I love you but you let me down

Time Skip

Y/n and I haven't talked in a while and I kinda miss her.

Yeah, oh, I
I love you but you let me down

Y/n's a great friend was a great girlfriend until she couldn't handle it. I just can see her as a friend now that I've kissed her, had sex with her, and planned to marry her.

I'm just trying to get over her as fast as I can.

And I'll go as fast as I can
No time for a moment to myself

I know it'll hurt more being with Y/n and knowing she's not truly there for me than us not talking at all.

And I'll go as fast as I can
I swear on my life it's for the best

But it is her 22nd birthday. Maybe just a quick call.

And I might call you on your birthday

I call Y/n and she answers on the last ring.

"Hey." Y/n says.

"Hey, happy birthday." I say.

"Thank you." Y/n says.

"Can you talk for a little?" I ask.

Cover words I wanted to say

"Yeah." Y/n says.

"Well, how are you?" I ask.

"I'm okay." Y/n says.

"How are you?" Y/n asks.

I don't say anything and tears fill my eyes.

With some small talk, and I'll tear up

"I actually gotta go. Happy birthday again." I say.

I hang up and sigh.

But I'll go on, and I'll hang up before I can say

Fuck, I love Y/n.

I love you but you let me down
No-no, oh, I

It's hard not to when she treated me the way she did.

I love you but you let me down
And I'll go as fast as I can

She bought me flowers, gave me whatever I wanted, and looked at me like I was the only girl in the wrong.

No time for a moment to myself
And I'll go as fast as I can

But I can't go back to her, she only wants me on my good days.

I swear on my life it's for the best
Though our moments kept us waiting

I need Y/n in my life.

I will keep it, keep it sacred

I call Y/n back and she answers on the first ring.

Like it's golden, wish you nothing

"You wanna be friends?" I ask.

But an exhale, and I'm hoping you hear when I say

"That elementary school ass sentence." Y/n says.

I never meant to let you down

I laugh and smile.

Oh, I

"I'd like that." Y/n says.

I love you but you let me down
