[Verse 1]
Though this is done, I will turn a blind eye
Don't tell me goodnight, cause' it means goodbye
Know, that we're broken
Know, this was over months ago, months ago

[Pre-Chorus]
Got me pretendin' you ain't done with us
It got me runnin' round the obvious
Yeah, baby, why you gotta rush?

[Chorus]
If you’re gonna let me down, let me down slow
Tell me what I already, already know
I know that your mind's already made up
But gimme one more night now before we give up
If you’re gonna let me down, let me down slow
Just another minute, I ain't ready to go
Before we let the light in, baby, just hold me like you don't know
That you're gonna let me down, let me down slow

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Let's leave it unsaid, just one more second
If you don't say it, then it ain't true yet
Know, that we're broken
Know, this was over months ago, months ago

[Pre-Chorus]
Got me pretendin' you ain't done with us
It got me runnin' round the obvious
Yeah, baby, why you gotta rush

[Chorus]
If you’re gonna let me down, let me down slow
Tell me what I already, already know
I know that your mind's already made up
But gimme one more night now before we give up
If you’re gonna let me down, let me down slow
Just another minute, I ain't ready to go
Before we let the light in, baby, just hold me like you don't know
That you're gonna let me down, let me down, slow

[Post-Chorus]
Let me down, let me down slow

[Bridge]
So let me down, let me down slow
Why you gotta rush, when I already know
That your mind's already made up
And I know you wanna give up
So before you let me down, let me down slow
Give it one more minute, 'cause I don't wanna go
Before we let the light in, baby, just hold me like you don't know
That you're gonna let me down, let me down, let me down, let me down slow

[Post-Chorus]
Let me down, let me down slow, yeah
Let me down, let me down slow

Liam James Payne is an English R&B-pop singer-songwriter. He made his debut as a singer when he auditioned as a solo artist for the British television series The X Factor in 2008. He reauditioned as a solo artist in 2010, where he was put into a group along with four other contestants, to form the boy band that would later become known as One Direction.

Since joining One Direction, Payne, along with bandmates Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and former bandmate Zayn Malik, have released five commercially successful albums, performed on four worldwide tours, and won multiple awards, including several BRIT Awards and four MTV Video Music Awards. He has worked independently under the monikers “Big Payno” and “Payno”, creating remixes for songs such as British pop singer Cheryl’s single “I Don’t Care”.

When One Direction first announced their hiatus in 2016, Liam said that he would stay in the music, but not go into a solo singing career. On May 10, 2017, Liam announced the release of his debut single “Strip That Down”. It became one of the biggest-selling debuts of all time, one of the most streamed songs of Summer 2017, making it the biggest selling song by any member from One Direction at the time.
