So, I was thinking about
What I'd write to you.
It's been three
Days since I heard your voice,
And I ain't been right without you.

A one night stand and a photograph
Made its way to you.
I took a chance,
Paid the consequence
This is why I'm writing to you.

What is the big surprise?
Is it too late to try?
Go ahead and cry.
It was just one little lie.

I hope that you don't mind.
I'll make it up this time.
Is it too late to try?
It was just one lie.

Baby, I think I owe you one.
Every time I come around you're ready for the letdown.
Here I sit alone; it was my fault.
I know if I was you, I wouldn't take me back.
Just let me down slowly, please...

Its not hard for me to say the things that you do.
You bring out the best in me,
When its not the best for you.
It's been a long time since I didn't know
What to do, where to go.
Could we forget yesterday, start over again?

What is the big surprise?
Is it too late to try?
Go ahead and cry.
It was just one lie.

Baby, I think I owe you one.
Every time I come around you're ready for the letdown.
Here I sit alone; it was my fault.
I know if I was you, I wouldn't take me back.
Just let me down.

Baby, I think I owe you one.
Every time I come around you're ready for the letdown.
Here I sit alone; it was my fault.
I know if I was you, I wouldn't take me back.
Just let me down slowly, please...

You need to believe it when I say that I am so, so, so sorry for the things I put you through.
Never meant to take the trust from you. [X3]

You need to believe it when I say that I am so, so, so sorry for the things I put you through.
Never meant to take the trust...

Baby, I think I owe you one.
Every time I come around you're ready for the letdown.
Here I sit alone; it was my fault.
I know if I was you, I wouldn't take me back.
Just let me down.

Baby, I think I owe you one.
Every time I come around you're ready for the letdown.
Here I sit alone; it was my fault.
I know if I was you, I wouldn't take me back.
Just let me down slowly, please...

Baby, baby, I know I owe you one.

Baby, baby, I let you down.
I let you down.
I let you down.
I let you down.
So please, let me down slowly, please.

    I love this song! I think it's about this guy who really carerd (and possibley loved) about this girl but had a one night stand, and now she always excpects something new to bring her down. And he's saying how she shouldn't take him back (but at the same time trying to prove that he really does care, and maybe still stay) because he doesn't want her to get hurt. And saying if she lets him go do it easily. LOVE THIS SONG!
