Don't Let Me Down Easy
Navigating Love's Shadows: Carolyn Hunter's Emotional Plea in 'Don't Let Me Down Easy'
Lyrics
Driving this canyon early in the morning
Driving through the canyon early in the morning
Headlights and moonlight and me
Surrounded by headlights, moonlight, and me
In the mountain's shadow
In the shadow of the mountains
Form becoming formless
Forms transforming from structured to shapeless
Is there nothing left
Questioning if anything remains true
That's as it seems
Things may not be as they appear
Don't let me down
Requesting not to disappoint
Don't let me down easy
Asking not to make the disappointment gentle
Don't let me down
Reiterating the plea not to disappoint
If you're done with me
Expressing the possibility of being abandoned
Don't let me down easy
Requesting not to make the abandonment gentle
Don't let me be the last one to know
Asking not to be the last to know about a significant event
And if you fall for another
If falling for someone else, requesting not to make it gentle
Don't let me down easy
Reiterating not to let the disappointment be easy
Don't wait for me
Advising not to wait for loyalty
Go make love to someone who isn't me
Suggesting finding love elsewhere if not with me
Don't let me down
Repeating the plea not to cause disappointment
Don't let me down easy
Emphasizing not to make the disappointment gentle
I'm losing ground
Feeling the ground slipping away
Can't feel you beneath me
Unable to sense your presence
The more that you run around
Noticing increased distance due to your actions
You'll run me down
Concerned that your actions will harm me
Is that what you want from me
Questioning if causing harm is your intention
Don't let me down
Reiterating the plea not to cause disappointment
Who's calling you at this hour
Curious about the caller at this time
Who are you dreaming of love
Inquiring about the subject of your love dreams
Who are you going out looking so good for
Asking about the reason for looking good and going out
Staying out late for
Wondering why you stay out late
Well save those tears for them too
Suggesting to save tears for someone else
Go cry to someone who isn't me
Advising to seek comfort from someone other than me
Go cry to someone who isn't me
Repeating the advice to cry to someone else
Don't let me down
Reiterating not to cause disappointment
Don't let me down easy
Emphasizing not to make the disappointment gentle
I'm losing ground
Feeling the ground slipping away (repeated)
Can't feel you beneath me
Unable to sense your presence (repeated)
The more that you run around
Noticing increased distance due to your actions (repeated)
You'll run me down
Concerned that your actions will harm me (repeated)
Is that what you want from me
Questioning if causing harm is your intention (repeated)
Don't let me down
Reiterating the plea not to cause disappointment (repeated)
Don't let me down easy
Emphasizing not to make the disappointment gentle (repeated)
