let me down gently

La Roux

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
Tel 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 me down gently
That's what I think you need
But when I let you down gently
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
Left behind your perfect skin
There?s a part of you that?s free
And I know 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 it hard, hard
Turn me into someone good
That?s what I really need
Tel 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
Left behind your perfect skin
There?s a part of you that?s free
And I know there?s a place for me
