You try so hard to be what people want,
putting on a show.
Have to be funny,
Have to be cute,
Have to look good in all ways,
always.

When you met me,
you were so surprised
at how 'different' i was,
and i guess i am.

You didn't know what to do with me,
you didn't know who to be,
because all i asked of you was kindness.

Darling, you shouldn't underestimate yourself.
Just be kind and honest and find the person
you want to be, and i'll love you anyway
you go.

If you don't want to lose me again,
stop pretending for someone else
because i'm here and all i'm giving
is kindness.
