Let U Down Lyrics
I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
[Verse 1: Charli XCX]
White pills, empty hotel
Teardrop, standstill
Phone calls, kiss through windows
Whisper, "I'm true, burn through"
Your palms open up
White pills, white raindrops
Don't choke, I'm here standing still
[Chorus: Charli XCX]
'Cause I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
No, I won't let you down
White pills, empty hotel
Good girl, don't tell
I feel like I've been here before
No one to say they hate me, no one at all
She says she couldn't save me
Said she'll never call
[Chorus: Charli XCX]
'Cause I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
No, I won't let you down
[Bridge: Lil Peep]
I know, it's so easy to blame me, the blame I take it all
(The blame I take it all)
White pills, empty hotels
I'm not staying strong (I'm not staying strong)
Give it up for you (Give it up for you)
Give it up for me (Give it up for me)
I promise, I'll be fine, but tonight I'm taking three
'Cause I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
No, I won't let you down

Charli said in an interview with Genius:
We had a song that we did with Lil Peep that was going to be on this mixtape. And then now, it isn’t. I think it’s the right decision. I never met Lil Peep, but I was massively inspired by him. We just went out on a limb to try and get a feature with him, and completely to my shock, he actually did it. That was maybe the first song that we drafted for the mixtape, in London. It felt like…when we were brainstorming ideas for it, it was immediately him. It’s something that no one will ever hear, and that’s the way that it should be. I’m just honored that I got to do something with him.
