Carefully lyrics

I always found it funny

that your favorite 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 storm from rollin' in,

and wrecking things, but shelter me until it's through.

And all this time you've 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 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 wе tried.

If coming apart and breaking my heart is what you need,

brеak 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 storm from rollin' in,

and wrecking things, but shelter me until it's through.

And all this time you've 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 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 wе tried.

If coming apart and breaking my heart is what you need,

brеak 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.
