Gently Lyrics by Pretoria

2019

[Verse 1]
Time after time
We have done this before
Tracing the line
From your eyes to the door
I cannot live with this love anymore
After a while, if it makes you smile, I'll be yours

[Chorus]
Speak to me gently
Your jar of hearts is getting heavy
And I'm a long way from accepting
Why we can't have a happy ending
I guess I never thought there would be
A day you wouldn't want to kiss me
And how it happened is a mystery
So I'll just have to keep on acting as if it's alright now
It's alright...

[Verse 2]
Line after line
We've rehearsed this before
Reading your lips
With a lump in my throat
I cannot lift up my eyes from the floor
After a while, I won't make you smile anymore

[Chorus]
Speak to me gently
Your jar of hearts is getting heavy
And I'm a long way from accepting
Why we can't have a happy ending
I guess I never thought there would be
A day you wouldn't want to kiss me
And how it happened is a mystery
So I'll just have to keep on acting as if it's alright now
It's alright now
As if it's alright now
It's alright...
