The singer senses that the woman he loves is going to break his heart. He wants her to be real with him.
He keeps using the word “if,” so even though there is a sad undertone throughout the song, he still hopes that she will not in fact let him down.
We have all been there before…
[Verse 1]
Well, it's cold
The lake is frozen
She floats across at night
No reason to be broken
I know her heart's not mine
[Chorus]
So if you're gonna let me down
Let me down easy
And if you're gonna let me down
Let me know, let me know right now
And if you're gonna let me down
Let me down easy
And if you're gonna let me down
Let me know, let me know right now
[Verse 2]
Before the words are spoken
I know what's on your mind
So now it's in the open
Don't want to know, don't want to know why
[Chorus]
Cause if you're gonna let me down
Let me down easy
And if you're gonna let me down
Let me know, let me know right now
And if you're gonna let me down
Let me down easy
And if you're gonna let me down
Let me know
[Bridge]
Cause I have to know
Cause I have to know
Cause I have to know
Cause I have to know
Cause I have to know
[Chorus]
If you're gonna let me down
Let me down easy
And if you're gonna let me down
Let me know, let me know right now
And if you're gonna let me down
Let me down easy
And if you're gonna let me down
Let me know
Let me know right now
[Outro]
Ooh (da da da da, da)
Ooh, ooh (da da da da, da, ah)
Ooh (da da da da, da, ah)
Ooh, ooh (da da da da, da, ah)
Ooh (da da da da, da)
Ooh (da da da, da da da, da)
