You were waiting for me, adore me, you saw me
As I wish the whole world could
You would never hurt me, desert me or work me
For all the things you thought you could
You would lick the tears from my eyes when I cry
How I missed you when I was gone
Hurt me so to leave you deceive you I needed you
I believed in you.

So I never meant to let you down
Awake with a stake in my eye
I never meant to let you down
I'm trying not to fall apart

All I have are pictures and stitches and riches
But money could never buy what you give
Though my heart is achin' and breakin' I'm takin'
Most of what you send my way
I want just to hold you, unfold you, I told
I am coming back for you
I know we will be okay everyday
The sun shines a little brighter

So I never meant to let you down
Awake with a stake in my eye
I never meant to let you down
I'm trying not to fall apart
I never meant to let you down
Awake with a stake in my eye
I never meant to let you down
I'm trying not to fall apart
I'm trying not to fall apart

When in the night we'll set a light
I'm wishing with all of my mind
Oh no, I never meant to let you down
Never meant to let you down
I'm trying not to fall apart
I never let you down
I never meant to let you down
I'm trying not to fall apart.

    General Comment:Dude, she blew it. She decieved him and left him for money. Now she's just left with: riches - what she left him for, pictures - memories of him or them, and stitches - her wounds inflicted by the choice she made. The line, "I'm makin' the most of what you send my way" sounds like a reference to alimony. She seems pretty sure that he'll take her back and thinks will go back to great. It almost never works that way, and I wonder if Sia intended it to be the hope she feels right before she's about to be crushed. Or maybe that's just me being pessimistic
