She said he's just a friend of mine A shoulder that I can lean on From time to time Maybe I'm a jealous guy But I feel like the harder I try The less happens This leaking ship needs mending Every river leads to its ending You want to let me down easy Though it doesn't seem easy to me A slow-motion fall from the tall Buildings to the crowded street The good times yeah, they're still good But the bad times feel worse than they should feel You want to let me down easy Our backs on the bedroom floor We whisper why it's different Than the ones we knew before Spring was innocence and bliss Summer wild inconsequence But this is real The leaves in central park glow like embers As a clock tower chimes through the dark You want to let me down easy But that's the hardest way I know A subtle change turns great and strange Until we're unidentifiable The good times yeah, they're still good But the bad times feel much worse than they should feel You want to let me down easy All my letters you have yet to read What do you need? please take it from me October rain the crows are circling, your eyes mystifying Showing me something you don't see You're going to let me down easy
