Break It To Me Gently Lyrics

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, goodbye...
