John Legend - I'll Be Gentle lyrics

[John Legend:] 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” [John Legend & Paloma Faith:] 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 [Paloma Faith:] 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 [John Legend & Paloma Faith:] 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
