[Verse 1]
If I choose to go with you home, can we take it slow?
If I choose to let you in and take off my clothes
If I don't seem in it when you kiss me
And I don't know what to say when you miss me
If I pull away from you, don't take it personal

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been dragged through hell and back
And I hope you're okay with that

[Chorus]
Could you please be gentle with me?
My heart is fragile, don't you see?
I can't take another break, take another burn
I don't want another lesson learned
Could you please be gentle with me?

[Verse 2]
I'm a little hesitant to get close with your friends
'Cause the moment I lose you means I lose them
I'm a little pessimistic, can you blame me?
I'm just not looking for anyone to save me
If I seem a little distant, I'm afraid of how this ends
No, I don't want it to end
[Chorus]
Please be gentle with me
My heart is fragile, don't you see?
I can't take another break, take another burn
I don't want another lesson learned
Could you please be gentle with me?

[Bridge]
(Can you be gentle with me?)
(Can you be gentle with me?)
(Can you be gentle with me?)
(Can you be gentle with me?)

[Outro]
Could you please be gentle with me?
My heart is fragile, don't you see?
I can't take another break, take another burn
I don't want another lesson learned
Could you please be gentle?
Please be gentle with me
