Let Me Down Easy Lyrics

Let me down easy
Let me down easy
Let me down easy
Let me down easy

When I rest my weary head
After all my words are said
When my eyelids close with the weight of a 100 years
Please let me down easy, let me down easy

My boat can slip away into a calmer sea
Let me down easy
I know there'll be nothing to fear

Let me down easy
Let me down easy
Let me down easy
Let me down easy

My body slips away out into weightlessness
Let me down easy
Now I know that there's nothing to fear

Let me down easy
Let me down easy
Let me down easy
Let me down easy

When I rest my aching heart
After it's been torn apart
When my tears have flowed on the tide of a 100 seas
Please let me down easy, let me down easy

Affection slips away into my memory
Let me down easy
There's a better time waiting for me

Let me down easy
Let me down easy
Let me down easy
Let me down easy

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is about the acceptance of death.

By the way, awesome intro for Henry!

Yes it's about death/dieing. This lyric was written by Hugh Cornwell (stranglers lead singer and guitarist) for the bass player JJ when his dad was dieing.
