“Let Me Down Slowly” featuring Alessia Cara happened after a fan sent a direct message to Alec Benjamin on Twitter saying that Alessia loved his music. The remix was released on January 7th, 2019 and doesn’t deviate much from the solo version (lyrically and sonically).
If you’re gunna leave… please...
[Verse 1: Alec Benjamin]
This night is cold in the kingdom
I can feel you fade away
From the kitchen to the bathroom sink and
Your steps keep me awake
[Pre-Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste
I once was a man with dignity and grace
Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace
So please, please
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby, let me down slowly
Let me down, down, let me down, down, let me down
Let me down, down, let me down, down, let me down
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly
[Verse 2: Alessia Cara]
I hold on to little pieces of what we were
I know we're long gone, but take it easy
Because it hurts
[Pre-Chorus: Alessia Cara]
Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste
I once was a girl with dignity and grace
Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace
So please, please
[Chorus: Alessia Cara]
Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby, let me down slowly
Let me down, down, let me down, down, let me down
Let me down, down, let me down, down, let me down
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly
[Bridge: Alec Benjamin & Alessia Cara]
And I can't stop myself from falling down
And I can't stop myself from falling down
And I can't stop myself from falling down
And I can't stop myself from falling down
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin & Alessia Cara, Alec Benjamin]
Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby, let me down slowly
Let me down, down, let me down, down, let me down
Let me down, down, let me down, down, let me down
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly
