I always found it funny

That your favourite 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 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.

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.
