  • I think I might be a fortune teller
    I read your face just like a letter
    The funny thing about forever
    Is it comes with a side of never, never

    I can't buy into what you're selling
    And no it's not that I don't want it
    Believe me I love to close my eyes, enjoy the ride
    But you reek of bad decisions and I

    I know, I know, I know
    I know, I know, I know

    You're only gonna let me down
    When it counts, you countdown
    You're only gonna turn me out
    As I burn, you burn out
    You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
    But when I think we could be something
    You go and let me down, let me down, oh

    I am too smart to let you in here
    But I'm just dumb enough to linger
    I wanna think that you'll be different
    Smoking mirrors are so clever, clever

    I picked him and things went so bad
    Then what you say will actually happen
    I've been dying to open my eyes
    See you try instead of always leaving me out to dry

    I know, I know

    You're only gonna let me down
    When it counts, you countdown
    You're only gonna turn me out
    As I burn, you burn out
    You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
    But when I think we could be something
    You go and let me down, let me down, oh

    I need you to be there when you say you're gonna be
    I care too much and you care enough to leave
    I want some place to rest my head without worrying
    It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
    It's not fair to me, 'cause I know by now

    You're only gonna let me down
    When it counts, you countdown
    You're only gonna turn me out
    As I burn, you burn out
    You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
    But when I think we could be something
    You go and let me down, let me down, oh

    You're only gonna let me down
    When it counts, you countdown
    You're only gonna turn me out
    As I burn, you burn out
    You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
    But when I think we could be something
    You go and let me down, let me down, oh Writer/s: Chris Destefano, Kelly Clarkson
