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 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 fot 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
