Bryan Stephens - Break It to Them Gently Lyrics

Break it to them gently when you tell my mom and dad
When you see my baby sister, be as kind as you can
Break it to my grandma, who said ""That boy's wild and bad""
Break it to them gently when you tell them that I won't be coming home again

'Cause I'm running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
Fightin' for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone
Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
God, I want to go home
Lord, I wish I was home

When you see my lady with the twinkle in her eyes
Tell it to her softly and hold her if she cries
Tell her that I love her and I will 'til the day I die
Tell it to her gently when you tell her that I won't be coming home again

I got in too deep with strangers
Thinking they could help me find my way
But nobody warned me of the dangers
And it's always the young and foolish that have to pay

So, break it to them gently when you tell my mom and dad
Thank them for the good years and all the lovin' that I had
Break it to my grandma, who said ""the boy is wild and bad""
Break it to them gently when you tell 'em that I won't be comin' home again

Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
Fightin' for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone
Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive
Lord, I want to go home
Lord, I want to go home

Break it to them gently
Break it to them gently
You gotta break it to them gently
Gotta really try to roll 'em
Gotta break it to them gently
Gotta really try to soothe them
Gotta really try to soothe them
Gotta break it to them gently
Break it to them gently
Gotta really try to roll 'em
Gotta break it to them gently
Gotta really try to soothe them
Gotta break it to them gently"
