Six Bullets from Joyful Noise by King of the Tramps

If I could take back one thing, It'd be everything I said
Thought I'd teach you a lesson, but you can't teach the dead
Don't let me down easy, don't let me down hard.
Anger is a weapon, Fear can make you run,
But runnin' leads to trouble, that trouble ends with guns
Don't let me down easy, don't let me down hard.
Don't let me down easier, than they took you away from me
Don't let me down harder, than I found the words I could not say
Just let me down peacefully, into the valley of my discontent
and leave me there with the shadows, there can be no shadows without light.
Take the passion out of anger, someone always dies
you take the truth from a stranger, that stranger lies
Don't let me down easy, don't let me down hard.
Some kids need a little less lovin', some kids need a little more
some kids steal somethin' they don't need from some damn convenience store
Don't let me down easy, don't let me down hard.
Don't let me down easier, than they took you away from me
Don't let me down harder, than I found the words I could not say
Just let me down peacefully, into the valley of my discontent
and leave me there with the shadows, there can be no shadows without light.
Some kids grow up the hard way, some kids hardly grow up
Hell, when I was your age, no was never enough.
Don't let me down easy, don't let me down hard.
These young cops trained as killers, like soldiers in a war
well they never say I'm sorry, that's what the bullets are for.
Don't let me down easy, don't let me down hard.
Don't let me down easy, don't let me down hard.
