I will let you down   When you need me   I will let you down   When you don't   I will let you down   When you're friendless   I will let you down    When your known      Believe me   It's the hardest thing   To leave this skin   And these bones   But girl I'll try   A trillion times   Because I love you alone      I will let you down   In the summer   I will let you down   In the spring   I will let you down   When the rains moan   I will let you down   When sunlight sings      Believe me   It's the hardest thing   To leave this skin   And these bones   But girl I'll try   A trillion times   Because I love you alone   I love you alone      I will let you down   With my actions   I will let you down   With my tongue   I will let you down   With my story   I will let you down   With my song      Believe me   It's the hardest thing   To leave this skin   And these bones   But girl I'll try   A trillion times   Because I love you       Will you stand    By the man   Who was against his skin   And his bones   But girl I'll try   It takes a trillion times   Because I love you alone
