Did you think that your smile

Could hide what's on your mind

No matter how I tried

I just couldn't be so blind

And they sometimes grow apart

If you've had a change of heart

(And) Break it to me gently

Why should I make them hide
D DM7
But I won't hold you back

There'll be no pulling on your sleeves

Just let me down easy
Em A
And go softly when you leave
(Repeat Chorus except last word)
