"**Let Me Down Easy (Lie)**" is a song by Why Don't We, released as a single on April 14, 2022. It is their second single of 2022, the first being "Don't Wake Me Up" with Jonas Blue. It kicks off their 2022 series as Part 1.

## Background

They began teasing the song through their The Good Times Only Tour announcement on TikTok, with the official cover art posted to their Instagram on April 6, 2022. The accompanying visual video premiered the same day, directed by Antony Muse. It shows the behind-the-scenes of each member for their photoshoot.

## Trivia

* In the official cover art, several people noted similarities to nothing, nowhere.'s album, *Reaper*. However, Reaper's cover only holds a single rose, it is not on fire, and it is mostly set in monochrome colors, making these two distinct from one another.
* During an Instagram live, the band revealed a different set of lyrics for the second verse which ended up not being used. The lyrics were
 *I be so problematic
 I be outta my head
 Tellin' me to stay home
 But I go out instead
 She said I can go deep
 And I know what she meant
 But when I'm goin' to sleep
 I think about what she said*

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
Zach, *Daniel*

I know sometimes you get pissed off

I know you can't stand it when

I canceled plans, I brushed you off

Yeah, we never planned it, yeah

I know sometimes that I fuck up

And when I think I don't, I need your love *(Yeah)*

Daniel

If you wake up one day and don't feel the same

Would you still smile when the feeling fades?

Look to the side when I'm saying your name

Say it's all fine, baby, lie to my face

Who am I to make you stay?

Baby, let me down easy

If you wake up one day and don't feel the same, will you?

Will you?

Jack+Daniel

La-la-la, la-la-lie, baby, let me down easy

La-la-la, la-la-lie, will you? Will you?

La-la-la, la-la-lie, baby, let me down easy

La-la-la, la-la-lie, will you? Will you?

Jonah

Say shit, say shit we don't mean at all

Don't pay attention when they're not involved

Complications, they can't be solved

If you walk away then we might lose it all

When you walked into my life I'm feeling different now

And when we wake up I still think we switched positions now

And your friends, they got opinions but they getting loud

But you know you mean the most, don't start actin' different now

Daniel

If you wake up one day and don't feel the same

Would you still smile when the feeling fades?

Look to the side when I'm saying your name

Say it's all fine, baby, lie to my face

Who am I to make you stay?

Baby, let me down easy

If you wake up one day and don't feel the same, will you?

Will you?

Jack+Daniel

La-la-la, la-la-lie, baby, let me down easy

La-la-la, la-la-lie, will you? Will you?

La-la-la, la-la-lie, (Oh) baby, let me down easy

La-la-la, la-la-lie, will you? Will you?

Corbyn

If you wake up one day and don't feel the same

Would you still smile when the feeling fades?

Look to the side when I'm saying your name

Say it's all fine, baby, lie to my face

Who am I to make you stay?

Baby, let me down easy

If you wake up one day and don't feel the same, will you?

Will you?
