if you're going to leave me ...

-

i can feel the calm
before the huge storm

it's getting ready to crack

so if you're going to leave me
don't drag me along
don't act like it's all okay

say it's you and it's not me
say you need to figure out
who you are

give me every break-up line
that's in the book

because if you're going to leave me
i want to you to
let me down easy

i fell really hard for you
my heart's already cracking
but i'm tough, baby

just let me down easy

i can sense how this is going down
you're going to drag it out
please don't

if you're going to leave me
just do it quick

like ripping a bandage off

and let me down easy
i don't care
you can give me every damn excuse
in that dusty ol' book

i just don't want to be the problem
it can't be because of me
what did i do wrong?

i only called when i needed something
or someone to talk to
i never made you buy me flowers
and i always paid my way into the movies

let you hang out with the boys
when you asked me
never held a grudge or anything

we never fought
maybe that was our problem?

it doesn't matter ...

if you're going to leave me
please, please
let me down easy
