Her father and her mother   Never showed her any affection at all   I wonder if it hurts her   now, now that it's too late   they call      We let her down, it's true   We let her down, it's true      I told her I'd be there   it's easy to say what you want to believe   I told her I'd love her, now   that it's too late I see      I let her down, it's true   I let her down   Let her down   Let her down   I let her down      So helpless, pretending,    hoping that somehow somebody   would see   So desperate for someone, I   guess that she thought that   someone was me      I let her down, it's true   I let her down   I let her down      Look at her, look through her eyes   Closer the hurt and the pain   I hope now she's somewhere   Where they'll never hurt her again
