Let Me Down Easy (MTV Unplugged Live In Melbourne)

Lyrics

You want someone who wants you for who you are
 I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight
 Easy, easy tonigh
 Honey, it's no secret that with matters of the heart
 I'm reserved, I'm irrational and rarely ever start
 Since the world's dark and often inhumane
 We relish our condition, come drinking in the rain
 'Cause you remember when, after Paris
 We all decided the best way to fight it was
 Drink wine, dance, heal and pray
 And make love that lasts with a vengeance
 So you can join the cowards all aboard the outrage train
 You can stay afraid, or slit the throat of fear and be brave
 And scratch a little itch 'til you're moving like a motherfucker
 Up in this bitch
 You wanted to fight for a cause?
 Then go out and fall in love
 Don't stop, don't stop believing
 In truth, in grace, and in grieving
 You want someone to want you for who you are
 I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight
 Easy, easy tonight
 So leave me and tell me what I already know
 That I trialled and I failed and it's good to let it go
 Sometimes life sucks, everything is lame
 Not everything's as easy as making lemonade
 And so dismembering our state of balance
 With lust requited, a gaze undivided
 With a cool mind, warmth in your face
 A good heart, grace under pressure
 Give me a good reason to be heartsick again
 To be here, to be strong, to be oddly and boldly estranged
 From a loss of better years
 I found myself descending into tedium and fear
 You wanted to fight for a cause?
 Then go out and fall in love
 Don't stop, don't stop believing
 In truth, grace, and the grieving
 You want someone to want you for who you are
 I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight
 Easy, easy tonight
 If it's late, you're drunk, and you want
 A reason, some reason to live
 I always, I always say
 Just put on some Whitesnake
 Honey, it's no secret that I've been losing my way
 In the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways
 But hey, I'm still young, it's gonna be okay
 I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade
 I'll surrender then, all my balance
 And be excited and drink to tonight
 It's not a bad time, time spent with you
 We never have to talk again, whatever, up to you
 But since you're putting up with me
 Here's another toast just to you
 Let's dance off the beat
 Then mosey out together and take a bow on the street
 You wanted to fight for a cause?
 Then go out and love someone
 Don't stop, don't stop believing
 In truth, personal feeling
 I want someone to want me for who I am
 I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight
 Easy, easy tonight
 Easy, easy tonight
 Easy, easy tonight
 Easy, easy tonight
 Easy, easy tonight
 Easy, easy tonight
