  • Let me down gently
    That's what I think I need
    But when you let me down gently
    It still feels it hard, hard
    Turn me into someone good
    That's what I really need
    Tell me that I'm someone good
    So we're not so far apart, apart
    I hope it doesn't seem like I'm young, foolish and green
    Let me in for a minute
    You're not my life but I want you in it

    Set me up I'm slowly
    That's what you do to me
    Oh you set me up slowly
    Now I can't come down, down
    Let you down gently
    That's what I think you need
    But when I let you down you're empty
    And you try to hide your frowns, frowns
    I hope it doesn't seem like I'm young, foolish and green
    Let me in for a minute
    You're not my life but I want you in it

    And I hope it's sinking in
    Left behind your perfect skin
    There's a part of you that's free
    And I know that there's a place for me

    Let me down gently
    That's what I think I need
    But when you let me down gently
    It still feels hard, hard
    Turn me into someone good
    That's what I really need
    Tell me that I'm someone good
    So we're not so far apart, apart

    I hope it doesn't seem like I'm young and foolish and green
    Let me in for a minute
    You're not my life but I want you in it

    And I hope it's sinking in
    Left behind your perfect skin
    There's a part of you that's free
    And I know that there's a place for me Writer/s: BEN LANGMAID, ELLY JACKSON, IAN SHERWIN
