Let Me Down Easy

I was running off trying not to fall, someone said excuse man you got a call
This voice I never heard before was on the other end
It was the telephone lady and I needed to pay my bill, she said in soft and open trill
I fell so hard but I knew soon she'd be gone again

Incoming isolation, thank god for predestination
You know me I always take it in stride

Do you wear your hair long, or keep it short, do you live in Utah or off the coast of Cape Horn
We could meet up on a drawbridge somewhere in between
Or hell, I'll just come your way, our first date can be on the Champs-Elysees, then later you can break my heart on a stranger's trampoline

Incoming isolation, thank god for masturbation
You know me I always take it in stride
 
Just let me down easy, let me down good
I saw it coming, even before you could
So let me down easy and I'll be gone

While I'm off in my unruly dream, you're talking about some new unlimited plan
And I'm walkin back to our houseboat on the Thames when I found you in bed with another man
I shake my head, I should've known, I walk backwards hoping that time will come along
You say is there anything else that I can help you with
 
Just let me down easy let me down good
I saw it coming, even before you could
Let me down easy and I'll be gone

But why didn't you say something, why didn't you say something, why didn't you say, why didn't you say

Is there anything else I can do for you

Just let me down easy, let me down good
I saw it coming, even before you could
Let me down easy and I'll be gone

Why didn't you say something, why didn't you say something, why didn't you say, why didn't you say

Oh yes one more thing, can I take one more second of your time
Totally unrelated, back to those first few years when we dated
Oh man what a life, before you got faded, I quit my job and we were ready for the world

Oh yes one more thing, one thing on my mind
My grandmother's ring on the 4th of July
Keep it if you like, wear it if you may, she would've liked you better anyway

Why didn't you say something, why didn't you say something, why didn't you say something else
