Let Me Down Easy – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Let me down easy

Though your love for me is gone

Let me down easy

Since you feel that staying is wrong...

We are broken by others

But we mend ourselves

We take comfort in strangers

But I don't think it helps

If every fool were a clown

I would be a king and not a clown

Cause love can't be

Closer than our hands and our feet

But it's lost on me

Ohhhhh ohhhh

It's lost on me

Your love for me is wrong

Let me down easy

since you feel that staying is wrong

There was no sweeter fruit than this

With no taste of bitterness

It was so fresh and sweet before

But I can't taste it anymore

I was like a man with no candy?

I had everything

But as long as long

Your love for me is wrong

Let me down easy

Your love for me is gone

Let me down easy

Since you feel that staying is wrong?

On a better day

we'd be waiting on our corner

Selling dreams of redemption

But this time you've gone your way

So I'll go mine

Out of sight, out of love, out of time

Your love for me is wrong

Let me down easy

Your love for me is gone

Let me down easy

Since you feel that staying is wrong?

Let me down easy
