Letting me down gently

Step from you car back into the real world

Can't hold your heat in the cold light of day

I won't find the heart to accept that we're over

As long as you're there I can beg you to stay


You say that you need to talk later

But I can't hold it together

So I call right away


Letting me down gently

Is breaking my heart slowly

And this can't be better

So just get it over

Cause holding on desperately

In fear that you might leave me


Is breaking my heart slowly

(letting me down gently)

Is breaking my heart slowly

(breaking my heart slowly)

Letting me down gently

(letting me down)

Is breaking my heart


Chasing around have you twisted and stumbled

Losing your way to end up by my side

Now you are ready to change your direction

Remember you came with your eyes open wide


You say that you need to talk later

But I can't hold it together

So I call right away
