carefully - Ben Platt

作词：Michael Pollack/Ben Platt/Alex Hope

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 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

If coming apart and breaking my heart is what you need

Break it carefully break it carefully
