2x

 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

2x

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
