[Verse 1]
Every day trying to make up for the one before
Climb three flights to tremble at the sight
Of your already open door
The frustration I see when I tell you I'd like some company
Breaks my heart
How can you be so impartial

[Chorus]
And I've made myself the fool
Who's fallen for you
So let me down softly this time and
I won't have to come back crying

I've just made myself look bad
You're the one who should be feeling that
It'd be better to forget you
But I don't really want to
It'd be better to forget you
But I don't really want to

[Verse 2]
Energy spent trying to believe you're not worth it
You don't deserve it
But I wish you did 'cause I can't rid the thought of it
And I'll remember you as the second of two artists I knew
Who decided to screw me over
'cause it's the bolder thing to do
[Chorus]
And I've made myself the fool
Who's fallen for you
So let me down softly this time and
I won't have to come back crying

I've just made myself look bad
You're the one who should be feeling that
It'd be better to forget you
But I don't really want to
It'd be better to forget you
But I don't really want to

[Outro]
And I've made myself the fool
Who's fallen for you
So let me down softly this time and
I won't have to come back crying

And I've made myself the fool
Who's fallen for you
So let me down softly this time and
I won't have to come back crying
