Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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] Break it to me gently If you 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 havе to say goodbye [Verse 2] I'm not ashamed to admit I really hurt insidе 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 you 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 [Bridge] 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] Break it to me gently If you 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 [Outro] Break it to me gently If you have to say goodbye Hmm-hmm
