Larrieux, Amel - Don't Let Me Down Lyrics






I watch your lips moving
I see the words taking shape
But love's like a language
I cannot translate
I can't afford to be careless
And let you in
I turn my head for one minute
And lose everything

Wish I had someone whom I could lean
Cause everybody's always counting on me
With my hands held real tight
Always ready to fight
For the few pieces of joy I have now
You have turned on a light
And I've lost my sight
But my heart still remembers the sound
Of a dream of a love one day found
Of a dream of a love one day found
So don't let me down

Your past it may be rocky
But your present is clear
My present situation
Is the sum of all my fears
I take responsibility for the few things I done right
But I got so much on my plate
I'm scared to take another bite
Wish I had someone on whom I could lean
Still I don't want no one's charity

With my hands held real tight
Always ready to fight
For the few pieces of joy I have now
You have turned on a light
And I've lost my sight
But my heart still remembers the sound
Of a dream of a love one day found

Heartbreak and bullets can try
To steal any good from my life
Fathers and lovers have lied
Rivers have flowed from my eyes
Never seen love face to face
Just seen it walking away
Why would you think I would recognize
Something that's never been mine

You have turned on a light
And I've lost my sight
But my heart still remembers the sound
Of a dream of a love one day found
You're the dream of a love one day found
And the freedom from what kept me bound
And a promise of staying around
My eyes may not work for me now
But my heart sure remembers the sound
So if you saying it
Please say it loud
And don't let me down

  68. T.... A....

    This song is everything😍

  69. V.... w....

    This song is so addicting and passionate to the soul

  70. S.... W....

    ❤️✨

  71. K.... Y....

    I'm inline with this song wedding song fr? 💙

  72. T.... P....

    How a strong woman gets vulnerable with the man she loves. It's not, "I need you." It's "I've been hurt, my instincts taught me to how to be strong for myself (fight), if you're really hear for me, stay, be loyal, show me how to give love in the right way. Don't mess me over, like the other men (fathers/lovers) have. Teach me, and don't mess up. I'm trusting you.

    T.... P....

    Exactly

  73. J.... S....

    I love Amel! Beautiful angelic voice....

  74. R.... T....

    Just watched Beyond The Lights and heard this song...I knew it was Amel. Woooow! The words...the words. ❤

  75. y.... ....

    Brings tears to my eyes because this song is the epitome of falling in love. Everyone keeps raving over Emma Stone in La La Land but that movie looks so overrated. Gugu did her own singing and dancing in this and yet got no recognition. It's a shame this soundtrack was not nominated for Oscars.

  76. s.... G....

    been alone for a long time and the past experiences 😔 I just find it hard to love again but I'm healing bit by bit so I'm taking it one day at a time god will choose for me now and I know he won't let me down THIS WILL BE MY SONG TO THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE WHEN THE TIME COMES 😔😳

  77. n.... x....

    LOVE LOVE HER

  78. L.... J....

    "Heartbreak and bullets can try
    to steal any good from my life". speak Amel

  79. A.... S....

    a dream of a love one day found...

  80. B.... R....

    I too just saw the DVD movie. Brutal sincerity in the lyrics. A song which describes a situation perhaps a lot of us are in or have been in. Raw emotions that tells how guarded we can because people have let us down, trust is difficult, hard to let anyone in. The song speaks volumes about boundaries and decisions we personally make and why.

  81. M.... W....

    Her music is duo beautiful and smooth

  82. I.... M....

    I fell in love with this song. My heart found that love but insecurities ensued and I lost it. I can only hope to find these poetic words in another beautiful soul. It's sure to happen again. I'll wait though..

    I.... M....

    I'm in the same boat...totally feel you. But, I'm still holding on to hope that it isn't over yet.

    I.... M....

    Thanks blue7979. I'm still holding on.

  83. M.... G....

    People who have down this video does not know good music and a person who can sing. The depths of these lyrics and her voice is so soothing and taking the sorrows away from me because I'm in grief and mourning from my twin brothers death..

    M.... G....

    Michelle Gomez, I can't express how sorry I am for your loss. My prayers are with you.

    M.... G....

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Blessings

    M.... G....

    It's a beautiful song 👍❤

    M.... G....

    I’m sorry to hear that...sending love your way♥️

    M.... G....

    I remember this song being on Beyond The Lights and it was the part where they were on the island
    .

  84. F.... N....
