Love me gently, oh sweet boy Let your love not consume my soul Let your words not dig on my scars Let your presence not drain me whole. Love me gently, oh sweet boy Don't cage me in your mind Leave me room to breathe, to become who I can And I promise it's you I'll always find. Love me gently, oh sweet boy Don't take from me more than I can give Don't make me regret the way I chose to heal Don't make me regret the way I choose to live. Love me gently, oh sweet boy Don't hate the parts of me that you once admired Don't make me chase a distant dream For my heart is already tired.
