break it to you gently

you had the office before you had the business

you had the ring before you found the girl

if it were up to you would she be suffering still?

you say your arms ache from the weight of your mistakes

you're the keeper of the doomsday clock

did i get that wrong?

little darling

i try

oh at least i look on the bright side

i'll break it to you gently

break it to you gently

with their 45s from 82 and the looks that say

i'm cooler than you

they hide behind boxing fists and arrogance

i got nothing

nothing

nothing to say

about the way you spend your day

you rest your head on your hands. would you let it slip away?

little darling

i try

oh at least i look on the bright side

i'll break it to you gently

break it to you gently

little darling i try

oh at least i look on the bright side

i'll break it to you gently

break it to you gently

little darling

i try

oh at least i look on the bright side

i'll break it to you gently

break it to you gently

little darling

i try

oh at least i look on the bright side

i'll break it to you gently

break it to you gently

i'll break it to you gently
