carefully

(专辑： Reverie - 2021)

I always found it funny
That your favourite part of a movie
Was trying to guess the end before I could
I should have seen it coming
But I got so lost in the story
It was over long before I understood

And I can't stop your stone from rolling in
And wrecking things
But shelter me until it's true
And all this time you had a gentle way of holding me
So could you please release me that way too?

'Cause it's okay to say goodbye
Some things live, but all things die
And I can't let go
Of all of the things I hoped we'd be
And I don't need the reasons why
'Cause we both know
How hard we tried
If coming apart
And breaking my heart is what you need
Break it carefully
Break it carefully

Well don't you think it's funny?
That I'm asking you for your mercy
After all the nights you asked me for a dance?
I guess I'm kinda lucky
That we got so close to the real thing
When so many never even get the chance

And I can't stop your stone from rolling in
And wrecking things
But shelter me until it's true
And all this time you had a gentle way of holding me
So could you please release me that way too?

'Cause it's okay to say goodbye
Some things live, but all things die
And I can't let go
Of all of the things I hoped we'd be
And I don't need the reasons why
'Cause we both know
How hard we tried
If coming apart
And breaking my heart is what you need
Break it carefully

I could leave all this behind me
If I could remember you kindly
I could leave all this behind me
If I could remember you kindly
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
If I could remember you kindly
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
If I could remember you kindly
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
If I could remember you kindly
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
If I could remember you kindly
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
If I could remember you kindly
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
If I could remember you kindly
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
If I could remember you kindly
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
If I could remember you kindly

If coming apart
And breaking my heart is what you need
Break it carefully
Break it carefully
