[Verse 1] This night is cold in the kingdom I can feel you fade away From the kitchen to the bathroom sink and Your steps keep me awake [Pre-Chorus] Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste I once was a man with dignity and grace Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace So please, please [Chorus] Could you find a way to let me down slowly? A little sympathy, I hope you can show me If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly Let me down, down Let me down, down Let me down, let me down Down, let me down, down Let me down If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly [Verse 2] Cold skin, drag my feet on the tile As I'm walking down the corridor And I know we haven't talked in a while So I'm looking for an open door [Pre-Chorus] Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste I once was a man with dignity and grace Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace So please, please [Chorus] Could you find a way to let me down slowly? A little sympathy, I hope you can show me If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly Let me down, down Let me down, down Let me down, let me down Down, let me down, down Let me down If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly [Bridge] And I can't stop myself from falling down And I can't stop myself from falling down And I can't stop myself from falling down And I can't stop myself from falling down [Chorus] Could you find a way to let me down slowly? A little sympathy, I hope you can show me If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly Let me down, down Let me down, down Let me down, let me down Down, let me down, down Let me down If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly
