I Won't Let You Down
Embracing Brokenness: Joel Taylor's Anthem of Resilience and Love
Lyrics
How do you rate your life
Reflecting on the subjective evaluation of one's own life.
How do you measure a man, money or time I wish I could sell my heart,
Exploring the criteria for measuring a person, questioning if it's through wealth or time.
I wish you could read my mind,
Expressing a desire for the ability to convey inner thoughts without speaking.
You’d see that i’m broke, but ill fix it in time
Acknowledging personal challenges but expressing confidence in overcoming them with time.
Stay with me
Inviting someone to stay emotionally close.
lay with me, love
Requesting physical intimacy and expressing love.
I’ll hold you ’til the sun comes up
Committing to providing emotional support until the morning.
I won’t let you down, ooh
Reassuring the commitment not to disappoint the other person.
I won’t let you down
Repeating the commitment to not let the other person down.
I might no be the safest bet,
Acknowledging potential risks but asking for trust.
But put your money on me, babe You wont regret it
Encouraging the other person to invest emotionally, promising it won't be regretted.
I won’t let you down, ooh
Reiterating the commitment not to disappoint.
How many debts must I pay
Pondering the number of challenges and obligations one must face.
Got a million in words,
Having many feelings but struggling to articulate them verbally.
But I don’t know how to say them You’re a fire inside a spark,
Comparing the other person to a powerful force (fire) and oneself to a vast yet contained entity (ocean).
I'm an ocean inside a lake
Continuing the metaphorical comparison of the relationship as both volatile and calm elements.
We’re smoke on the water,
Referring to the unpredictable and dynamic nature of the relationship.
Water and flames
Highlighting the contrasting yet complementary aspects of the connection.
Stay with me
Repeating the invitation for emotional closeness.
lay with me, love Always be mine
Reiterating the desire for a lasting connection.
And, I won’t let you down, ooh
Reassuring the commitment not to let the other person down.
I won’t let you down
Affirming the determination to keep the promise.
I might no be the safest bet,
Acknowledging potential uncertainties but asking for trust.
But put your money on me, babe You wont regret it
Encouraging emotional investment, pledging it won't lead to regret.
I won’t let you down, ooh
Reiterating the commitment not to disappoint.
How could I be more for you, Now’s the time to see it through
Expressing a desire to do more for the other person and emphasizing the importance of commitment.
I won’t let you down, ooh
Reaffirming the commitment not to let the other person down.
I won’t let you down
Restating the determination to keep the promise.
I might no be the safest bet,
Acknowledging potential risks but asking for trust.
But put your money on me, babe You wont regret it
Encouraging emotional investment, promising it won't result in regret.
I won’t let you down, ooh
Reiterating the commitment not to disappoint.
