clumsy little me I　I always let you down
I never have the sense enough to　keep my mouth shut
I always let you down　I'm falling past the line now
Oh I do it every time
I say what I don't mean　my real intents unseen
I do it every time
Oh I've let you down　now you can let me drown
here in my own shameful tears
you can let me go　but I hope you know
my risk is betting that　you'll let me stay

clumsy little words
They always fall away　and I'm let just standing
there you think you think that I don't care
but honey that's not true
and I know just what you'll do　you'll look at me sadly
as I try to compensate for the words that I just ate
I'm feeling so badly
oh I've let you down　now you can let me drown
here in my own shameful tears
you can let let me go　but I hope you know
my risk is betting that　you'll let me stay

I fumble and I fall with no sense　I laugh and cry in every sentence
So listen now　to words I have to say
and know that it's just me　I'm trying to make us both happy
I'm fading when tongues are tied and hearts are far away

clumsy little me I　I always let you down
I never have the sense enough to　keep my mouth shut
I always let you down　I always let you down
I always let you down　always let you down
always let you down　I always let me down
