let me down easy lyrics

I can feel us changing
You don't wait up for my key to turn the lock
It's all around me
I am messing up and I can't seem to stop

I want an answer
I have spent the best of all my years with you
If you think it's over
Tell it to me straight 'cause I deserve the truth

If you're gonna leave me
Let me down easy, don't string me along
Tell me you're sorry
Say it's you and not me, that's all that I want

If you're gonna leave me
Let me down easy

I came and to save us
And it turns out there was nothing left to fix
I've been no angel
But I never thought I'd see us come to this

I'm not what you think 'cause neither one of us
Shouldn't have to take the blame
Just say it's over
That's a man, unless my heart will be so damned

If you're gonna leave me
Let me down easy, don't string me along
Tell me you're sorry
Say it's you and not me, that's all that I want

If you're gonna leave me
Let me down easy

And it seems like a thousand years
I'm tracing back with you
And that everybody's got something to say

Well, what is said and done
Well, it's just what it comes down to
Just the two of us and all of our mistakes

Oh well, it's been a long time
Since you waited for my key to turn the lock
No turning back now
No use trying to make something where there's not

If you're gonna leave me
Let me down easy, don't string me along
Tell me you're sorry
Say it's you and not me, that's all that I want

If you're gonna leave me
Let me down easy

I never wanted to believe
You couldn't stand to be with me
I never thought that you would care
The thoughts you had, we never shared
And when you left an open door
I checked out other spots to go

What are we doing all this for?
You couldn't stand to be with me
I can't be something that I'm not
I never thought that you would care

I won't go and you won't stay
I checked out other spots to go
No, there's nothing left to say
