Gently Break My Heart - Lyrics by Linda Eder


Lyrics

Lyrics: Jack Murphy

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
