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
