Letdown

Yeah…

If I’m the problem—then I’m not fixing it

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

You want me clean, you want me changed

But I like living in the gray

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

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

You call it reckless, call it wrong

But this is where I belong

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

(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

Maybe I’m not what you had in mind

But I’m done trying to rewrite my life

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

Yeah… I won’t change a single thing

If I’m a letdown—let me be
