[Verse 1] She let me down easy She let me down slow She said it's not you, it's me She said I love you so But I can't be a girlfriend I told you that from the start Makes me feel like an animal caught in a trap It breaks my spirit and heart I made her feel like an animal caught in a trap And it's breaking my heart [Verse 2] I never wanted to own her We were of the same mind Let's keep it fun and easy and light Let's just have a good time 'Cause I don't want a girlfriend I said that from the start Yet somehow I trapped her inside of this cage That I call my heart Yes she was trapped, but she's breaking free And it's breaking my heart [Bridge] I asked her what happened Where did I go wrong She said she's been feeling too obliged for too long Still I wanted answers I wanted the when, where, why and the how She laughed a sad laugh She said Kirk, it doesn't matter now [Verse 3] She let me down easy She let me down slow She said it's not you, it's me She said I hate to go But I can't be your girlfriend I told you that from the start And then you fell way too hard You wanted too much You held on too tight You started to crush me and so I must go That's the sad part
