Did you think that your smile
|
Could hide what's on your mind?
|
No matter how I tried
|
I just couldn't be so blind
|
We've been close but people grow,
|
And they sometimes grow apart
|
There's just one thing I ask you
|
If you've had a change of heart?
|
CHORUS:
|
(And)Break it to me gently,
|
If ya have to, then tell me lies
|
Break it to me gently,
|
At least leave me with my pride
|
Try to spare my feelings
|
If the feelings have to die
|
Break it to me gently,
|
If you have to say goodbye
|
|
I'm not ashamed to admit
|
I really hurt inside
|
After all these are my feelings,
|
Why should I make them hide?
|
But I won't hold you back,
|
There'll be no pulling on your sleeve
|
Just let me down easy,
|
And go softly when you leave?
|
CHORUS:
|
(And)Break it to me gently,
|
If ya have to, then tell me lies
|
Break it to me gently,
|
At least leave me with my pride
|
Try to spare my feelings
|
If the feelings have to die
|
Break it to me gently,
|
If you have to say goodbye
|
|
You always knew that you had my heart
|
It's still yours, if you wanna take it
|
But when you go, as I know you must,
|
Be gentle with your breaking
|
|
CHORUS:
|
(And)Break it to me gently,
|
If ya have to, then tell me lies
|
Break it to me gently,
|
At least leave me with my pride
|
Trust me and my feelings
|
If the feelings have to die
|
Break it to me gently,
|
If you have to say goodbye
|
|
Break it to me gently,
|
If you have to say goodbye,
|
Goodbye
|
