lets down
Breaks a promise
Lets down means to disappoint or fail to meet expectations: I trusted him, and he really let me down.
It can also mean to lower something physically—letting down a hem adds length to a garment, or you might let down your hair.
To let your guard down is to relax your defenses or become less cautious.
