| She said he’s just a friend of mine
|
| A shoulder that I can lean on From time to time
|
| Maybe I’m a jealous guy
|
| But I feel like the harder I try
|
| The less happens
|
| This leaking ship needs mending
|
| Every river leads to its ending
|
| You want to let me down easy
|
| Though it doesn’t seem easy to me
|
| A slow-motion fall from the tall
|
| Buildings to the crowded street
|
| The good times yeah, they’re still good
|
| But the bad times feel worse than they should feel
|
| You want to let me down easy
|
| Our backs on the bedroom floor
|
| We whisper why it’s different
|
| Than the ones we knew before
|
| Spring was innocence and bliss
|
| Summer wild inconsequence
|
| But this is real
|
| The leaves in central park glow like embers
|
| As a clock tower chimes through the dark
|
| You want to let me down easy
|
| But that’s the hardest way I know
|
| A subtle change turns great and strange
|
| Until we’re unidentifiable
|
| The good times yeah, they’re still good
|
| But the bad times feel much worse than they should feel
|
| You want to let me down easy
|
| All my letters you have yet to read
|
| What do you need? |
| please take it from me October rain the crows are circling, your eyes mystifying
|
| Showing me something you don’t see
|
| You’re going to let me down easy |
