Night and day I've been doing the math To calculate where we wandered off track But I know, that this love was never easy But something's faded inside of your heart Now you're crusading to tear us apart It's clear now, I know you're gonna leave me So disappear now, I won't get in your way Oh let me down easy Let me down easy, woah, before you go Well how do I begin to convince you to love me When you're a star in the sky up above me And I'm too far down below Your heavy heart is taking it's toll You've lost all the magic inside of your soul So sell me a lie before you hit the road Oh let me down easy Let me down easy, woah, before you go Oh yeah cause I know you'd rather run than stay and try Cause I know it's that much easier to say goodbye Yes I know, so if you've made your mind Take what you want and get out of my life But can you do this one last thing And leave me with my pride... Oh let me down easy Let me down easy, woah, before you go Oh let me down easy Let me down easy, woah, before you go
