I tried my best to understand
How you can go from acting
As if the world's collapsing
Back again, like it was no big deal
When you've been all distracted
Am I overreacting?
It's just a vibe I get sometimes inside, at night
I'm frightened you don't love me
You don't love me
It's just a thought that lingers longer than it should
I could be wrong but I dream
That you don't love me
Can you let me down
Gently now
When all is said and done
Take it easy on me 'cause
I just don't know how
To allow
You to up and leave
Break it gently to me please
If time allows, maybe we'll do something
Where we might rediscover
Affection for the other
Occasionally I contemplate
The notion you've been tryin' to say
Is only, that you don't love me
Can you let me down
Gently now
When all is said and done
Take it easy on me 'cause
I just don't know how
To allow
You to up and leave
Break it gently to me please
If you're giving me bad news or coming to say
That you wanna leave, take the children away
Then maybe hesitate
Before you devastate
Me with the disclosure
That's over the years
All the affection you had disappeared
And now in its place, is just an empty space
Can you let me down
Gently now
When all is said and done
Take it easy on me 'cause
I just don't know how
To allow
You to up and leave
Break it gently to me please
