let me down easy

Lyrics

you want someone to want you for who you are, i want someone to try, then let me down easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight, honey, it's no secret that with matters of the heart, unreserved, i'm irrational and rarely ever start, but since the world's dark and often inhumane, relish our condition, come drinking in the rain, 'cause you remember when, after paris, we all decided the best way to fight it was, drink wine, dance here and pray, and make love that lasts with a vengeance, so you can join the cowards all aboard the outrage train, you can stay afraid, or slit the throat of fear and be brave, and scratch the little itch 'til you're moving like a motherfucker, up in this bitch, you wanted to fight for a cause, then go out and fall in love, don't stop, don't stop believing, in truth and grace in the grievance, you want someone to want you for who you are, i want someone to try, or let me down easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight, so look at me and tell me what i already know, that i trialled and i failed and it's good to let it go, sometimes life sucks, everything is lame, not everything's as easy as making lemonade, and so dismembering our state of balance, with lust requited, a gaze undivided, with a cool mind and warmth in your face, a good heart, a grace under pressure, you give me a good reason to be heartsick again, to be here, to be strong, to be oddly and boldly estranged, from the loss and bitter years, i found myself descending into tedium and fear, you wanted to fight for a cause, then go out and fall in love, don't stop, don't stop believing, in truth and grace in the grievance, you want someone to want you for who you are, i want someone to try, or let me down easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight, if it's late, you're drunk and wanting, a reason, some reason to live, i always, i always say, just put on some whitesnake, honey, it's no secret that i've been losing my way, in the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways, but hey, i'm still young and it's gonna be okay, i got solipsism, baby, and i brought lemonade, i'll surrender then, all my balance, and be excited and drink to tonight, it's not a, a bad time, time spent with you, there's cool lights and songs with good lyrics, we never have to talk again, whatever, up to you, but since you're putting up with me, here's another toast just to you, let's dance, off the beat, then mosey out together and say goodbye on the street, you wanted to fight for a cause, then go out and love someone, don't stop, don't stop believing, in truth and personal freedom, i want someone to want me for who i am, i want someone to try, or let me down easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight
