Every day trying to make up for the one before
Climb three flights to tremble at the sight
Of your already open door
The frustration I see when I tell you I'd like
some company breaks my heart
How can you be so impartial
And I've made myself the fool
Who's fallen for you
So let me down softly this time and
I won't have to come back crying
I've just made myself look bad
You're the one who should be feeling that
It'd be better to forget you
But I don't really want to
It'd be better to forget you
But I don't really want to
Energy spent trying to believe you're not worth it
You don't deserve it
But I wish you did 'cause I can't rid the thought of it
And I'll remember you as the second of two artists I knew
Who decided to screw me over
'cause it's the bolder thing to do
And I've made myself the fool
Who's fallen for you
So let me down softly this time and
I won't have to come back crying
I've just made myself look bad
You're the one who should be feeling that
It'd be better to forget you
But I don't really want to
It'd be better to forget you
But I don't really want to
And I've made myself the fool
Who's fallen for you
So let me down softly this time and
I won't have to come back crying
And I've made myself the fool
Who's fallen for you
So let me down softly this time and
I won't have to come back crying
