Gently now
You don't want to wake them up
When you leave
You'll be gone
They don't even know that
They need to grieve
You've got to do what's right
By yourself
And you know what's best
This is destructive after all
So put it to rest
So, gently now
You don't want to wake them up
When you leave
Gently now
Don't make a sound while you
Get up to leave
Just because you spent
Years making a mistake
Doesn't mean you should stay
You don't even
Owe them apologies
When there's nothing to say
Look to the future
Better decisions
Onwards we go
How they screwed up is
For them to guess
And for you to know
Gently now
You've made your decision
It's time to go
Gently now
You've made your decision
It's time to go
Gently now
Gently now
Gently now
Gently now
Gently now
