Never Let Me Down

by hannah johnson   Aug 16, 2008


Here they come again,
Harder than ever before
Tears streaming down my face
My heart becomes sore

These tears are more than just water
They carry more than just hurt
They fill up my eyes,
And make my vision a blur

My heart yearns to let its guard fall
But that has become my greatest fear of all
For everyone I once loved and did so much for
Are drifting away, I barely know them anymore

I can't help it though
When you come into my life
To let down my guard
Oh this cuts like a knife

I've got to be strong
And hold my ground
I've got to move on
Before my heart is unwound

You always make promises that you can never keep
Like we will be best friends forever
Because our friendship is deep
No matter what happens you're here to the end?

Well that end has come too fast
So much for best friends
I thought this would last
Now it's all in the past

Your words are sweet and I do want to trust them
But I've heard these words before
I don't want to be hurt again
I just can't take this anymore

When so many people tell me the same
I give you my trust, so I am to blame
The more and more you break my trust
Leaving me behind, alone in the dust

I know it's not the same with everyone
There are trustworthy people who care a ton
Some friends really do care
Friendship like that is really rare

But there is someone
Who will never let you down
No matter how much you screw up
He can turn your life around

I like to call this special someone
My dear friend and savior
He's there for everyone
To teach us when to trust our neighbor

From the beginning to the end
He will stand by my side
Never leaving me, He's a true friend
With his arm's open wide

His love is eternity
His joy is contagious
His faithfulness reaches infinity
His grace is outrageous

We humans will always let you down
Not on purpose, we don't mean to
That's why we can only fully trust one
The Almighty Creator who loves you

He will never let you down.
