Let Me Down Easy
Navigating Heartbreak: Let Me Down Easy by Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose
Lyrics
Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me that I am incorrect
About losing you
About the experience of losing you
Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me that I am mistaken
This just can't be true
This situation simply cannot be true
I know you're dying down
I understand that your feelings are diminishing
Because it's so plain to see, oh yeah
It's evident and clear to me
I know you're gonna drop me
I anticipate that you will end our relationship
But please do it this way for me
But if that's the case, do it in a gentle manner for my sake
Oh, let me, let me down easy
Kindly lower me gently
Oh, let me, let me down easy
Handle the situation delicately for me
So the pain won't hurt so bad
So the pain will be less severe
Hurt you so badly
To prevent causing severe pain to both of us
Tell me I'm wrong
Assure me that my thoughts of losing you are incorrect
About losing you
Regarding the loss of you, tell me it's not true
Tell me I'm wrong
Let me know if I'm mistaken about losing you
This just can't be true
Expressing disbelief that this could be true
I could tell each time you kiss me
I sense something amiss each time we kiss
There's something wrong definitely
There's a definite issue with our affection
If your love is dying down
If your love is fading, handle it gently for me
Please do it this way for me
If our love is dwindling, let it happen in a considerate manner
Oh, let me, let me down easy
Requesting a gentle way of ending the relationship
Oh, let me, let me down easy
To minimize the pain of separation
So the pain won't hurt so bad
To avoid causing excessive hurt
Hurt you so badly
To prevent causing severe pain to both parties
I know I can't convince you
Admitting inability to persuade the other person
No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I attempt
So, please break it to me easy
If the decision is to end things, do it gently
If you don't I'm gonna die
The alternative will be devastating for me
Oh, let me, let me down easy, I beg you
A heartfelt plea to handle the breakup with care
Let me, let me down easy
To make the process less painful
Oh, let me, let me down easy
To minimize the emotional impact
Oh yeah, let me, let me down easy
An earnest request for a gentle separation
