I�d never given us a second thought
I�m the kind of boy who does what he ought
But something about the way you turned to me
It�s too bad I know we�ll never be
I never wanted more than I could stand
I know what it means to you to be a man
And I�d never ask you to give that up
It�s so sad that I know I�m sunk
You�re not the kind of person to let things go
So I know that I can�t ever let you know
It�s easier to just keep this in my mind
I don�t want to hear you trying to be kind
(As you let me down easy)
I am the only one I can trust
Everyone else would just make fun of us
And I don�t want to see the way you�d look at me
If you knew the way I wanted us to be
(God, I feel queasy)
It�s too sad, hearing you and the way you talk
It�s too bad, you won�t hold my hand when we walk
It�s too quiet when you are not around
When you�re mad I can�t seem to hold my ground
And though it�s silent I can feel my way around
Though you�re quiet I can feel your silent sound
You make me feel and you know I�m not afraid
You gave me strength with the games we once played
You�re so mad but I know you�d never hurt me
I may fail you but I know you�ll never desert me
You may yell at me but I know you still care
When I need you you�re always the one there
I may talk big, using words you don�t understand
But around you I don�t feel like much of a man
I think there may be something wrong with me
Something that you can�t even see
I have an undefinable disease
It�s trying to take ahold of me
And I can�t let you see
And we can�t ever be
I�m not the kind of person to put on a show
I believe in not flaunting the things I know
So I�ll pull my hat lower over your eyes
And keep on wearing my thin disguise
Maybe one day you�ll really see through me
And walk away, not knowing what to make of me
But until then I�ll keep my feelings to myself
I�ll enjoy the time I have not by myself
�Cause I may talk big, using words you don�t understand
But I have fallen in love with another man
And though you may think I�ve lost my mind
I hope you will at least be kind
Please just let me down easy
Because even that will please me
I�ve got an undefinable disease
So let me down easy please
