"Please Be Gentle With Me" lyrics

Don't I know it all too well
How I can come across
Overly sure of myself
I seem unbreakable
I've been in the driver's seat
Since day one
In control even when coming undone with you

You, who stumbled into my life
Right when I'd only just
Stood up off the back of that free fall's impact
And brushed off the dust
Now I find you on my mind each morning
In my recent calls and now underneath my skin too

Couldn't help but make room for you
From the start, knew it was out of my hands
Guess I tripped, fell then adored you
So is it okay to ask

Please be gentle with me, baby
Is there a way to do this and keep it pain free
So when it's time to wrap things up, let this go
I'll be fine, it's not my first rodeo
Please be gentle with me, baby
'Cause breaking me is all that I know

Don't I know it all too well
How fast one can pull the rug
Even when you're so convinced
That there's no reason to
But tell me, ever since you found me in your town
Then in your bed
Singing in your kitchen
Are you a little scared too?

Couldn't help but make room for me
From the start, knew it was out of your hands
If you're beginning to adore me too
Is it okay to ask

Please be gentle with me, baby
Is there a way to do this and keep it pain free
So when it's time to wrap things up, let this go
We'll be fine, it's not my first rodeo
Please be gentle with me, baby
'Cause breaking me is all that I know

Please be gentle with me, baby
Breaking me is all that I know
