“Let Me Down Easy” is the third release by the American boy group Why Don’t We following their sophomore album, and their second release in 2022.
It relates back to the first single, “Love Back”. Heartbreak and love fading away are a centric point in this new era of Why Don’t We.
The track was tea...
[Verse 1: Zach & Daniel]
I know sometimes you get pissed off
I know you can't stand it when
I cancel plans, I brush you off
Yeah, we never planned it, yeah
I know sometimes that I fuck up
And when I think I don't, I need your love (Yeah)
[Chorus: Daniel]
If you wake up one day and don't feel the same
Would you still smile when the feelin' fades?
Look to the side when I'm sayin' your name
Say it's all fine, baby, lie to my face
Who am I to make you stay?
Baby, let me down easy
If you wake up one day and don't feel the same
Will you? Will you?
[Post-Chorus: Jack]
La-la-la, la-la-lie
Will you let me down easy?
La-la-la, la-la-lie
Will you? Will you?
La-la-la, la-la-lie
Will you let me down easy?
La-la-la, la-la-lie
Will you? Will you?
[Verse 2: Jonah]
Say shit, say shit we don't mean at all
Don't pay attention when they're not involved
Complications, they can't be solved
If you walk away then we might lose it all
When you walked into my life, I'm feelin' different now
And when we wake up, I said, "We can switch positions now"
And your friends, they got opinions, but they gettin' loud
But you know you mean the most, I'ma start actin' different now
[Chorus: Daniel]
If you wake up one day and don't feel the same
Would you still smile when the feelin' fades?
Look to the side when I'm sayin' your name
Say it's all fine, baby, lie to my face
Who am I to make you stay?
Baby, let me down easy
If you wake up one day and don't feel the same
Will you? Will you?
[Post-Chorus: Jack & Daniel]
La-la-la, la-la-lie
Will you let me down easy?
La-la-la, la-la-lie
Will you? Will you?
La-la-la, la-la-lie (Oh, let me down easy)
Will you let me down easy?
La-la-la, la-la-lie
Will you? Will you?
[Outro: Corbyn]
If you wake up one day and don't feel the same
Would you still smile when the feelin' fades?
Look to the side when I'm sayin' your name
Say it's all fine, baby, lie to my face
Who am I to make you stay?
Baby, let me down easy
If you wake up one day and don't feel the same
Will you? Will you?
