Let Me Down Easy
Andrea von Kampen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't have enough
Things to replace
All of your stuff
And nothing's the same but
The memories remain oh
They're haunting, the closets
In a house that's divided
There's no use in fighting when
You're already down on your knees
So please
Be careful with me
You're holding my heart
Just let it down easy
I wait for your phone call
Or a letter to come
But you must've found
Yourself a new someone
And maybe you like how
She does her hair oh
Give it a while
You just won't care
In a house that's divided
There's no use in fighting when
You're already down on your knees
So please
Be gentle with me
You're holding my heart
Just let it down easy
Oh please
Be careful with me
I know you've moved on
Just let me down easy
The song Let Me Down Easy by Andrea von Kampen is a melancholic and somber reflection on the aftermath of a relationship gone wrong. The opening lines, "The top drawers are empty, I don't have enough, things to replace all of your stuff" sets the tone for the song's sentiment. The singer is struggling to deal with the end of the relationship and is haunted by the memories associated with their ex-partner. Despite the physical absence of the former lover's belongings, the memories remain in the form of haunting closets and a ghost in the singer's brain.
The acknowledgment that the house is divided and there's no use in fighting emphasizes the pain of the breakup. The singer pleads with their ex-partner to be careful and gentle with their heart. They know that their former lover has moved on, but they ask for a gentle release from the emotions they're experiencing. The chorus, "So please, be careful with me. You're holding my heart, just let it down easy. Oh, please, be gentle with me. I know you've moved on, just let me down easy" demonstrates the singer's vulnerability and willingness to let go of the past pain.
In summary, Andrea von Kampen's Let Me Down Easy is a raw and emotional plea for a gentle release from a past relationship that continues to haunt the singer long after the love is gone.

The top drawers are empty
I feel like there's nothing left of me after you left
I don't have enough
I don't have enough strength to deal with everything that has happened
Things to replace
The love that we shared can never be replaced
All of your stuff
Your absence is very much felt in the things you used to use and do
And nothing's the same but
Everything has changed, but
The memories remain oh
The memories of us still linger in my mind and heart
They're haunting, the closets
Everything around me is a reminder of you and it's haunting me
There's a ghost in my brain
I can't stop thinking about you, you're like a ghost in my mind
In a house that's divided
We were once living in a home filled with love, but now it's divided
There's no use in fighting when
It's pointless to fight with someone who has already left
You're already down on your knees
I'm already at my lowest point, and I can't take any more pain
So please
Please have mercy on me
Be careful with me
Handle me with care, because I'm fragile and vulnerable
You're holding my heart
You have my heart in your hands and I'm trusting you not to break it
Just let it down easy
Please don't hurt me, just let me down gently
I wait for your phone call
I'm waiting for you to reach out to me
Or a letter to come
I'm hoping to receive a message from you
But you must've found
You must have moved on and found someone new
Yourself a new someone
Someone who will fill the void that I left
And maybe you like how
You might be attracted to the way
She does her hair oh
She looks and acts different from me
Give it a while
Maybe after some time has passed
You just won't care
You'll forget about me and move on with your life
Be gentle with me
Please handle my heart delicately as I try to move on from you
I know you've moved on
I understand that you've already let go of me
Just let me down easy
But please don't make it harder for me than it already is
