i won't let you lead me down
i'm gonna turn myself around
pull a full blown smile from a bottomless frown
no i won't let you lead me down

i can't believe that you took me this low
and i bet you think i can't let go
you loved me so bad and you hurt me so slow
if i have to crawl my way on outta this hole
you better know

i won't let you lead me down
i'm gonna turn myself around
pull a full blown smile from a bottomless frown
no i won't let you lead me down

you got a cool dark heart and a velvet touch
fine silk tongue that can lie so rough
burned a valley of pain straight through my trust
next time you wanna drive me wrong
i'll be gone...long gone...oh

cut the chains, flyin' free
on my way back to how i used to be
won't look at me...hey won't you look at me

chorus

i won't let you lead me down
i'm gonna turn myself around
pull a full blown smile from a bottomless frown...no
i won't let you lead me down

repeat chorus x3

i won't let you lead me down
i won't let you lead me down
