Break It to Me Gently Lyrics by Angela Bofill

The Best Of Angela Bofill

0

[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 have to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
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
[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
Goodbye
