[Verse 1]
Nobody's perfect, we all fall down
Don't beat yourself up if you're on the ground
You gotta learn like everybody else
Your heart is in your hands, be gentle on yourself
It's human nature for hearts to ache
Totally normal, so for goodness sake
We gotta learn like everybody else
Your heart is in your hands, be gentle on yourself
Your heart is in your hands, be gentle on yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
We've all been down from timе to time
You take a dive, but you survivе
And pretty soon, you're riding high
[Chorus]
Be gentle on yourself
Think of your mental health
Be gentle on yourself
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
[Verse 2]
I know you're sentimental, that's not a fault
But if you're bleeding, then don't add salt
Cry a million teardrops, they're gonna help
Your heart is in your hands, be gentle on yourself
Your heart is in your hands, be gentle on yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
We've all been down from time to time
You take a dive, but you survive
And pretty soon, you're riding high
[Chorus]
Be gentle on yourself
Think of your mental health
Be gentle on yourself
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Your tender heart is in your hands (Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
Just be gentle on yourself (Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na)
Your tender heart is in your hands (Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
Just be gentle on yourself (Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na)
[Outro]
Your heart is in your hands, be gentle on yourself

I wrote this song about 20 years ago with Dave Faulker from the Hoodoo Gurus. I remember I was going through a pretty hard time personally back then and I obviously needed some self-care. The irony is I’m only just starting to learn how to be gentle on myself now and it’s a daily practice. I’m defin...
