​carefully
Ben Platt
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
'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
[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
'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

[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
If coming apart and breaking my heart is what you need
Break it carefully, break it carefully
