There's something in your eyes
|
I should have seen
|
Something there that doesn't quite belong
|
And there's something in the way
|
You touch my hand
|
I feel the tenderness but something's wrong
|
|
How could I have been so blind
|
I thought this love would never die
|
Now baby try...
|
|
To break it to me gently, let me down easy
|
I don't think I can take
|
Much more than that tonight
|
So let me catch my breath before you start
|
Then break it to me gently
|
Even if it gently breaks my heart
|
|
You caught me by surprise
|
I'm unprepared
|
Tell me, what am I supposed to do
|
I can't find any words
|
I just know I'm scared
|
I never thought of me without you
|
|
And I don't want a reason why
|
But if you have to say good-bye
|
Then baby try...
|
To break it to me gently,
|
Let me down easy
|
I don't think I can take
|
Much more than that tonight
|
So let me catch my breath
|
Before you start
|
Then break it to me gently
|
Even if it gently breaks my heart
|
|
Tell me lies,
|
Tell me there's still time for us
|
Oh can we try to find a little time for us
|
A little time before you...
|
|
Break it to me gently, let me down easy
|
I don't think I can take
|
Much more than that tonight
|
So let me catch my tears
|
Before you start
|
Then break it to me gently
|
Even if it gently breaks my heart
|
|

Gently Break My Heart
