I'll Be Gentle Lyrics - Paloma Faith

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
