Let You Down Easy

Driving 'round town just to clear my head

Broken record spinning all the things I've said

All the memories cloud my mind, but I can't go back there

'Cause we both know it's not like it used to be

And my hopes and dreams sometimes got the best of me

As much as I fight, deep down I gotta do the right thing

How can I let you down easy?

Take the hit so you don't feel it?

I can't ask for anything more

I ain't ever done this before

Oh, I know it's gonna hurt you

Oh, babe, it's gonna hurt me too

But there ain't never gonna be a good time

To tell you goodbye

Well, you've been really, really good to me

And I wish we could've found the right harmony

But we gave it the best we had before the setting sun

How can I let you down easy?

Take the hit so you don't feel it?

I can't ask for anything more

I ain't ever done this before

Oh, I know it's gonna hurt you

Oh, babe, it's gonna hurt me too

But there ain't never gonna be a good time

To tell you goodbye

But sometimes love is like the seasons

It comes and goes

On we roll

And sometimes love is like a wind

It moves us on to where we have to go

How can I let you down easy?

Take the hit so you don't feel it?

I can't ask for anything more

I ain't ever done this before

Oh, I know it's gonna hurt you

Oh, babe, it's gonna hurt me too

But there ain't never gonna be a good time

To tell you goodbye

Mmm, oh

To tell you goodbye
