Step from you car back into the real world
Can't hold your heat in the cold light of day
I won't find the heart to accept that we're over
As long as you're there I can beg you to stay

You say that you need to talk later
But I can't hold it together
So I call right away
Letting me down gently

Is breaking my heart slowly
And this can't be better
So just get it over
'Cause holding on desperately

In fear that you might leave me
Is breaking my heart slowly
(letting me down gently)
Is breaking my heart slowly

(breaking my heart slowly)
Letting me down gently
(letting me down)
Is breaking my heart

Chasing around have you twisted and stumbled
Losing your way to end up by my side
Now you are ready to change your direction
Remember you came with your eyes open wide

You say that you need to talk later
But I can't hold it together
So I call right away
Letting me down gently

Is breaking my heart slowly
And this can't be better
So just get it over
'Cause holding on desperately

In fear that you might leave me
Is breaking my heart slowly
(letting me down gently)
Is breaking my heart slowly

(is breaking my heart slowly)
Letting me down gently
(letting me down)
Is breaking my heart

Is breaking my heart
Letting me down gently
Is breaking my heart slowly
And this can't be better

So just get it over
Holding on desperately
In fear that you might leave me
Is breaking my heart slowly

(letting me down gently)
Is breaking my heart slowly
(is breaking my heart slowly)
Letting me down gently

(letting me down)
Is breaking my heart slowly
(breaking my heart slowly)
Oh, letting me down gently

(letting me down)
Is breaking my heart slowly
(is breaking my heart slowly)
Oh, letting me down gently

(letting me down)
Is breaking my heart
(is breaking my heart slowly)
Ooh, my heart

(breaking my heart)
Letting me down gently
(breaking my heart)
Ooh, letting me down gently

(letting me down)
Is breaking my heart
(breaking my heart slowly)
Letting me down gently

(letting me down gently)
Is breaking my heart
(breaking my heart slowly)
Letting me down gently
(letting me down)
Is breaking my heart
