I'll Be Gentle

Puttin' on a brave face

I wipe the tears away with no trace

I'm OK, Mister Grey

I'm not as strong as you think

There's a hurt behind my smiling face

I say, "I'm OK"

Every saint has a past

Every sinner has a future

And I feel your pain

We all hurt the same

And I'll be there to hold you

There's nothing that I won't do

'Cause we all need a little kindness

All this cruelty is so mindless

I promise I'll be tender

So darling just surrender

I see through all your pretending

So let go 'cause I can take it on

I'll take it on (listen, baby)

Yeah, I'll be gentle

I see you putting on a brave face

I guess you need to learn to have faith

I'll stay and wait

I shake it off and have a few drinks

And forget about everything they say

I'll be your escape

Every saint has a past

Every sinner has a future

And I feel your pain

We all hurt the same

And I'll be there to hold you

There's nothing that I won't do

'Cause we all need a little kindness

All this cruelty is so mindless

I promise I'll be tender

So darling just surrender

I see through all your pretending

'Cause our love is never ending

Oh, so hold my hand

'Cause I got nowhere else to turn

Please be gentle and be kind

Lend me your ear, lend me your time

Just let it out

It takes a real man to let me see him cry

I'm here to dry your eyes

I see your're hurt, don't cry tonight

And I'll be there to hold you

There's nothing that I won't do

'Cause we all need a little kindness

All this cruelty is so mindless

And I'll be there to hold you

There's nothing that I won't do

'Cause we all need a little kindness

All this cruelty is so mindless

I promise I'll be tender

So darling just surrender

I see through all your pretending

So let go 'cause I can take it on

And I'll be there to hold you

There's nothing that I won't do

'Cause we all need a little kindness

All this cruelty is so mindless

I promise I'll be tender

So darling just surrender

I see through all your pretending

So let go 'cause I can take it on

I'll take it on (oh, take it on)

I'll take it on

Oh, baby

And I'll be gentle

Oh, I'll be gentle
