did u think that ur smile

could hide wats on ur mind

no matter how i tried

i just couldn't be so blind



we've been close 

and people grow

but sometimes grow apart

theres just one thing i asked of you

if you have a change of heart



CHORUS:

break it to me gently

if you have to then tell me lies

break it to me gently

at least to leave me with my pride

try to save the feelings 

if the feelings have to die

break it to me gently 

if you have to say goodbye..



i'm not ashamed 

to win a bet, i'm really hurt inside

after all this on my feelings

why i shouldn't make them hide

but i won't hold you back

there'll be no pulling on ur sleeves

just let me, damn easy and 

go softly when you leave



Repeat Chorus



you always knew that you have my heart

its still yours 

if you wanna take it

but when you go, yes i know you must

be gentle when you break it



Repeat Chorus
