Linda Eder Gently Break My Heart Lyrics

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

So let me catch my tears before you start
Then break it to me gently even if it gently breaks my heart
