Letdown

[Intro]  
Yeah…  
If I’m the problem—then I’m not fixing it  

[Verse 1]  
You got that look like I’m a lost cause  
Like every move I make just breaks your laws  
Yeah I hear the whispers when I walk away  
But I stopped caring what you gotta say  

You say I’m wasting all the air I breathe  
On nights you think I should just leave  
But I feel more alive in the mess I made  
Than in the life that you tried to stage  

[Pre-Chorus]  
You want me clean, you want me changed  
But I like living in the gray  

[Chorus]  
If I’m a letdown, let me be  
I kinda like this side of me  
You call it wrong, I call it free  
So why you trying to fix me?  

If I’m too far gone, let me drift  
I don’t need saving from my sins  
You hate the way I choose to live  
But I won’t change a single thing  

[Verse 2]  
I’m every bad call that I don’t regret  
Every bridge I burned, yeah I’d light it again  
You see a dead end—I see a road  
That finally feels like something I chose  

Yeah I tried your way, I played your game  
Felt more alone with a perfect name  
So I cut it loose, let it all fall down  
Now I’m finally me when you’re not around  

[Pre-Chorus]  
You call it reckless, call it wrong  
But this is where I belong  

[Chorus]  
If I’m a letdown, let me be  
I kinda like this side of me  
You call it wrong, I call it free  
So why you trying to fix me?  

If I’m too far gone, let me drift  
I don’t need saving from my sins  
You hate the way I choose to live  
But I won’t change a single thing  

[Breakdown]  
(HEY)  
You want a version I’ll never be  
So stop pretending you know me  

I’m not your fix, I’m not your cure  
I’m everything that you can’t control  

Say it louder—say my name  
Tie me down or fan the flame  
If this is wrong, I’ll take the blame  
I’ll live it up, I’ll stay the same  

[Bridge – melodic]  
Maybe I’m not what you had in mind  
But I’m done trying to rewrite my life  

[Final Chorus – bigger, gang vocals]  
If I’m a letdown, let me be  
I kinda like this side of me  
You call it wrong, I call it free  
So why you trying to fix me?  

If I’m too far gone, let me drift  
I don’t need saving from my sins  
You hate the way I choose to live  
But I won’t change a single thing  

[Outro]  
Yeah… I won’t change a single thing  
If I’m a letdown—let me be
