Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You wore that frown like armor
All day, every day
Like the mirror was a judge
And it knew what to say
You’ve got enough old bruises
On your skin, on your name
Don’t add your own fists to it
That’s a cruel kind of game
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, I know that voice
It gets loud when you’re alone
But it ain’t the truth
It’s just a stone on your throne
[Chorus]
Be gentle with yourself
Be gentle with yourself
You don’t owe your heart
Another break, another cut
Be gentle with yourself
Be gentle with yourself
You’ve been through enough
You’re already enough
[Verse 2]
I see you picking splinters
From a day that’s gone cold
Turning little stumbles
Into stories you told
But the night don’t need your punishment
And the dark won’t win
Set that heavy burden down
Let the soft light in
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, I know that voice
It can twist what’s real and true
But the hand that reaches for you
Should belong to you
[Chorus]
Be gentle with yourself
Be gentle with yourself
You don’t owe your heart
Another break, another cut
Be gentle with yourself
Be gentle with yourself
You’ve been through enough
You’re already enough
[Bridge]
If hope feels far away
Take one small step home
Put your hand on your chest
You do not walk alone
Let the shame fall off
Like dust from your shoes
There’s a softer way
And it’s waiting for you
[Final Chorus]
Be gentle with yourself
Be gentle with yourself
You don’t owe your heart
Another break, another cut
Be gentle with yourself
Be gentle with yourself
You’ve been through enough
You’re already enough
Be gentle with yourself
(you’re already enough)
Be gentle with yourself
(you’re already enough)

Style
1980s-inspired R&B, soul, neo-soul, and jazz-tinged slow jam with warm syncopated drums, creamy electric piano, muted guitar flicks, and a pocketed bassline; verse stays intimate and conversational, pre-chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and clipped ad-libs, chorus opens into a smooth, memorable lift with short repeated anchor lines. Lead vocal is close-mic and tender with doubled hook phrases, soft gospel-style backing responses, and tasteful delay throws on key words. Vinyl crackle, brushed snare pickups, and a mellow horn swell color the transitions; polished but human, lush and emotionally direct., jazz, r&b, gentle, soul
