Intro
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 growapart
The're just one thing
I ask you
If you've had a chance 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 you
sleev
Just let me down easy
And go softly when you
leave
(repeat chorus)
goodbye....
You always knew that you had
my heart
It's still your's, if you wanna
take it
But when you go, I know you
must
Be gentle with you breaking
Break it to my genlty
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 haveto say
goodbye.
