| 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…
|
| (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…
|
| (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
|
| (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… |
