Gentle

Make me believe in something beautiful

I’ve seen the worst in the world

Watched as the roses grew thorns

I was an optimist turned cynical

Held that hand that carried hurt

Lost control and missed my turn

I took the hit because I thought that I deserved it

A sinking ship coming up the surface

So be gentle

Take me as I am

If I let my guard down

Please don’t make me put it up again

I’ll be open

Past is in the past

If I give you all of me

Don’t make me have to take it back

So be gentle

I’m fighting reasons not to be with you

I’ve rolled the dice, I’ve paid the price

I've bit the bullet once or twice

Nothing’s ever what it seems to be

Thought he was good, thought she was nice

I let him in, it wasn’t right

I took the hit because I thought that I deserved it

But if you prove me wrong, maybe it was worth it

So be gentle

Take me as I am

If I let my guard down

Please don’t make me put it up again

I’ll be open

Past is in the past

If I give you all of me

Don’t make me have to take it back

So be gentle

Tell me that it’s us forever

I don’t wanna be just someone you remember

Be gentle

Say that you want me forever

I don’t wanna be just someone you remember

Be gentle
