Let me down gently, that's what I think I need

Tell me that I'm someone good so we're not so far apart, apart

Let me in for a minute, you're not my life but I want you in it

But when I let you down you're empty and you try to hide your frowns, frowns
[Refrão] Em G Bm A
I hope it doesn't seem like I'm young, foolish and green
Em G Bm A
Let me in for a minute, you're not my life but I want you in it

There?s a part of you that?s free and I know there?s a place for me
