Ben Platt - ​carefully lyrics

[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
