lyrics

I’m an eager kid
I’m revving up a bit
I see it freaks you out

I guess I came on strong
You became alarmed
Left you with some doubt

Won’t you let me down easy ... I’m so brittle
Oh won’t you let me down easy ... I’m still little

My therapist she knows
How I ebb and flow
How I fall and rise

You see I’m high right now
But when you knock me down
it’s such a big surprise

I’m in your fingertips
And I don’t want to slip
I know I’m hard to want
So many things I’m not
And nothing’s set in stone
Together then alone
Yeah it’s a theme I know
It’s a theme I know

So won’t you let me down easy ... I’m so brittle
Oh won’t you let me down easy ... I’m just little
