The choice of words don't matter The meaning's still the same And it won't make me feel better To hear I'm not to blame Someday I'll forgive you Maybe then again, I won't But I take no consolation In what the future holds Don't let me down easy Just let me go And don't tell me you'll call me When we already know This goodbye will last forever So let the bad times roll But don't let me down easy Don't let me down easy That's a hard way to go I should've seen it coming I should've faced the facts The more love that I gave you The less love you gave back I guess, I thought you'd come around Yeah, well, we all make mistakes And there ain't nothing good about this There ain't nothing left to say Don't let me down easy Just let me go And don't tell me you'll call me When we already know This goodbye will last forever So let the bad times roll But don't let me down easy Don't let me down easy Don't let me down easy That's a hard way to go
