Gentle Letdown Lyrics

Let me down gently

Don't be too harsh don't be too cold

I know exactly what you're going to say

Before you ever speak a phrase

Cut through the film I created

Destroy and burn my fantasy

I got so close it that I could taste

But it was all in my love mind

How did I become so blind?

Where did my cruel sanity go?

When did I believe in love?

Why am I now "falling hard"?

It was sweet it was a dream

I almost thought you were the one

I keep forgetting you're not for me

I'm just another crack on the road

Talk to me like I'm your friend

In details but just don't offend

I know this isn't how you thought it'd be

Confessing through song everything

Break apart the fragments

That make the happy world I made

It was my escape from what was in front of me

But now I face reality

How did I become so weak?

When did I stop holding my head high?

Why did I think we're made for us?

Why am I holding your broken glass?

It was pure it was innocent

The way you softly spoke into my soul

I had to ruin everything

By being what I can't avoid

I let me down

I let you down

I broke the one good I had again

I can't even

See you in your eyes

Why can't I just enjoy the ride and not

Question me

Question us

What are we and who are we for each?

Are we one heart?

Or are we apart?

Are we even close enough to by us?

Or are we separate?

I forgot who I was

That I became so soft

And now I'm in the gutter

I left me and my harsh ways

Of dealing with life

To become your temple

I now know not to respond to anyone

I will ravish and crumble

Every part of me

That I carved for you

And then I will unravel
