Hard Letting You Down Easy

Jesse Daniel Edwards is an award-winning songwriter based in East Nashville. Apart from his work as a solo artist, he spent five years on the road with The Smart Brothers, releasing 4 recordings and performing with the likes of First Aid Kit and Jason Mraz. As a young songwriter, Jesse relocated to Nashville where he became a protege of Al Bunetta (John Prine, Oh Boy Records). Honing his art busking outside of honky tonks and writing on Music Row in the years that followed, JDE crafted his raw talent into the passionate vocals and smart lyrics that would become his signature style. Favoring a DIY approach in the vein of Elliot Smith or Conor Oberst, Jesse’s heartfelt indie folk and alt-country sound has endured with his fans through his self-produced recordings and demos, along with his engaging live performances. His music has been featured in radio, TV, and independent films and is available on Netflix, Spotify (featured artist), and Apple Music.

Hard Letting You Down Easy
by Jesse Daniel Edwards
ASCAP

well rehearsed doesn’t make it hurt less
I should have seen this coming ten miles away
polish the blade before you make a mess
you can’t hold your head high when you lean down to kiss her 
and say good bye

it's hard to admit that I don't love you anymore
hard to believe we won so many battles but lost the war
I hardly know the right way to say goodbye
believe me it's hard letting you down easy

you were beautiful
I saw it first
you were beautiful but you weren’t my type
I gave you my heart give it back and it’s worthless
you say everything loses its shape and color in time

it's hard to admit that I don't love you anymore
hard to believe we won so many battles but lost the war
I hardly know the right way to say goodbye
believe me it's hard letting you down easy


don’t be afraid to leave
don’t be afraid to stay
be strong enough to walk back
when you walk away
I know you’ve got to do this
but I’m begging you don’t put my heart through this
