"Letting Me Down Easy"

Written by Scott Cooley

You said

You like the idea of me

But I’m not your cup of tea

Should I know what that means?

Maybe it’s not so mean

You’re letting me down easy

You said

I’ve got a lotta things happening

But not enough to be appealing

Do you even know what that means?

Maybe it’s not so mean

You’re letting me down easy

I don’t have to show my math to prove

The sum of my parts is greater than you’ll ever be

Sometimes we gain so much when we lose

This broken heart tells me what you meant to me

Now I know in my soul it was never meant to be

You said

You just can’t get into me

You’ve tried but you need to be free

I guess I know what that means

Maybe you’re not so mean

You’re letting me down easy
