I'll Be Gentle

Puttin' on a brave face
 I wipe the tears away with no trace
 I'm okay, Mister Grey
 I'm not as strong as you think
 There's a hurt behind my smiling face
 I say, I'm okay
 Every saint has a past
 Every sinner has a future
 And I feel your pain
 We all hurt the same
 And I'll be there to hold you
 There's nothing that I won't do
 'Cause we all need a little kindness
 All this cruelty is so mindless
 I promise I'll be tender
 So darling, just surrender
 I see through all your pretending
 So let go 'cause I can take it on
 I'll take it on (listen, baby)
 Yeah, I'll be gentle
 I see you putting on a brave face
 I guess you need to learn to have faith
 I'll stay and wait
 I shake it off and have a few drinks
 And forget about everything they say
 I'll be your escape
 Every saint has a past
 Every sinner has a future
 And I feel your pain
 We all hurt the same
 And I'll be there to hold you
 There's nothing that I won't do
 'Cause we all need a little kindness
 All this cruelty is so mindless
 I promise I'll be tender
 So darling, just surrender
 I see through all your pretending
 'Cause our love is never ending
 Oh, so hold my hand
 'Cause I got nowhere else to turn
 Please be gentle and be kind
 Lend me your ear, lend me your time
 Just let it out
 It takes a real man to let me see him cry
 I'm here to dry your eyes
 I see your're hurt, don't cry tonight
 And I'll be there to hold you
 There's nothing that I won't do
 'Cause we all need a little kindness
 All this cruelty is so mindless
 And I'll be there to hold you
 There's nothing that I won't do
 'Cause we all need a little kindness
 All this cruelty is so mindless
 I promise I'll be tender
 So darling just surrender
 I see through all your pretending
 So let go 'cause I can take it on
 And I'll be there to hold you
 There's nothing that I won't do
 'Cause we all need a little kindness
 All this cruelty is so mindless
 I promise I'll be tender
 So darling just surrender
 I see through all your pretending
 So let go 'cause I can take it on
 I'll take it on (oh, take it on)
 I'll take it on
 Oh, baby
 And I'll be gentle
 Oh, I'll be gentle
