Break It To Me Gently

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
 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
 ♪
 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
 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
 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 when you're breaking
 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
 Break it to me gently
 If you have to say goodbye
