[Verse 1]
Night and day
I've been doin
g the math
To calculate w
here we wander
ed off track
But I know tha
t this love wa
s never easy
But something'
s faded inside
of your heart
So you're crus
ading to tear
us apart
But it's clear
now, I know y
ou're gonna le
ave me
So disappear n
ow, I won't ge
t in your way
[Chorus]
Ohh, let me do
wn easy,
Let me down ea
sy, woah, befo
re you go
Ohh, let me do
wn easy,
Let me down ea
sy, woah, befo
re you go
[Verse 2]
How do I begin
to convince y
*
ou to love me
When you're a
star in the sk
y up above me
And I'm too fa
r down below
Your heavy hea
rt's taken its
toll
You've lost al
l the magic in
side of your s
oul
So sell me a l
ie before you
hit the road
[Chorus]
Ohh, let me do
wn easy,
Let me down ea
sy, woah, befo
re you go
Ohh, let me do
wn easy,
Let me down ea
sy, woah, befo
re you go
Woah Yeah!
[Bridge]
Cause I know Y
ou'd rather ru
n than stay an
d try
(Ba ba ba ba-d
a da ba ba ba)
Cause I know i
t's that much
easier to say
goodbye
(Ba ba ba ba-d
a da ba ba ba)
And I know so
if you've made
your mind
Take what you
want and get o
#
ut of my life
But can you do
this one last
thing
and leave me w
ith my pride
[Chorus]
Ohh, let me do
wn easy,
Let me down ea
sy, woah, befo
re you go
Ohh, let me do
wn easy,
Let me down ea
sy, woah, befo
re you go
