Linda Eder - Gently Break My Heart lyrics

rate me

There's something in your eyes

I should have seen

Something there that doesn't quite belong

And there's something in the way

You touch my hand

I feel the tenderness but something's wrong

How could I have been so blind

I thought this love would never die

Now baby try...

To break it to me gently, let me down easy

I don't think I can take

Much more than that tonight

So let me catch my breath before you start

Then break it to me gently

Even if it gently breaks my heart

You caught me by surprise

I'm unprepared

Tell me, what am I supposed to do

I can't find any words

I just know I'm scared

I never thought of me without you

And I don't want a reason why

But if you have to say good-bye

Then baby try...

To break it to me gently,

Let me down easy

I don't think I can take

Much more than that tonight

So let me catch my breath

Before you start

Then break it to me gently

Even if it gently breaks my heart

Tell me lies,

Tell me there's still time for us

Oh can we try to find a little time for us

A little time before you...

Break it to me gently, let me down easy

I don't think I can take

Much more than that tonight

So let me catch my tears

Before you start

Then break it to me gently

Even if it gently breaks my heart
