[Refrain]
Let me down easy if you can
I'm not half as strong as you think I am

[Verse 1]
It may seem like I don't care, baby, that's just my disguise
Look closer and you'll see I'm still a kid behind the eyes
I'm barely on my feet and one more lick would put me down
Show a little mercy, honey, I'm pleadin' with you now

[Chorus]
Let me down easy if you can
I'm not half as strong as you think I am
I guess I'll try to take it like a man
Let me down easy if you can

[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm the crazy one, 'cause there ain't no way it's you
I guess I'll let you go 'cause it's the least that I could do
Hopefully I'll make it and I'll be alright in time
I'll prob'ly go to pieces now, but darlin' you'll be fine

[Refrain]
Let me down easy if you can
I'm not half as strong as you think I am
[Verse 3]
Someday when we're older, we'll look back on this and smile
I thought I had it handled, baby, I missed it by a mile

[Chorus]
Let me down easy if you can
I'm not half as strong as you think I am
I guess I'll try to take it like a man
Let me down easy if you can
