Just try to remember the time
When all your pitfalls and fears
Became mine

And we fall apart
Just one thing takes me back to the start

Chorus:
Tenderness
Put my heart to rest
Your tenderness
Hits me to the bone
Tenderness
When my head's a mess
Your tenderness
Keeps me coming home

Hush baby, don't cry
This rings in my head all the time
And still
I tend to forget your words

When I'm the swan in my full dive
Just one thing keeps me alive

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
And so it seems to me
To all of us here
The answer is clear
That you need a little less stress
And some more tenderness

Repeat Chorus
