Hard Letting You Down Easy

Hard Letting You Down Easy
by Jesse Daniel Edwards
ASCAP

well rehearsed doesn't make it hurt less
I should have seen this coming ten miles away
polish the blade before you make a mess
you can't hold your head high when you lean down to kiss her
and say good bye

it's hard to admit that I don't love you anymore
hard to believe we won so many battles but lost the war
I hardly know the right way to say goodbye
believe me it's hard letting you down easy

you were beautiful
I saw it first
you were beautiful but you weren't my type
I gave you my heart give it back and it's worthless
you say everything loses its shape and color in time

it's hard to admit that I don't love you anymore
hard to believe we won so many battles but lost the war
I hardly know the right way to say goodbye
believe me it's hard letting you down easy

don't be afraid to leave
don't be afraid to stay
be strong enough to walk back
when you walk away
I know you've got to do this
but I'm begging you don't put my heart through this
