[Verse 1]
It’s late again
The room hums
Pale and trembling
My hands trace circles
On the same worn ceiling
Your name
Catches in my breathing
Like dust
I keep repeating
[Chorus]
Be gentle
With the part of me that stays
In the quiet
In the in-between of days
Be gentle
I am brittle at the seams
Hold the weight of all these half-remembered dreams
(gentle, be gentle)
[Verse 2]
Old songs
Crackling through the evening
Every note
Pulls another feeling
I stare
At nothing in particular
Talk slow
To the empty air
[Chorus]
Be gentle
With the part of me that stays
In the quiet
In the in-between of days
Be gentle
I am brittle at the seams
Hold the weight of all these half-remembered dreams
(gentle, be gentle)
[Bridge]
I keep saying I’m fine
So the silence won’t answer
But under my breath
I’m still calling your name
[Chorus]
Be gentle
With the part of me that stays
In the quiet
In the in-between of days
Be gentle
I am brittle at the seams
Hold the weight of all these half-remembered dreams
(gentle, be gentle)
