I was too kind
Because I let them disparage me
I let them insult and slander me
With no truth nor right
I was too kind
Because I let them use my kindness
I let them use my weakness
With ruthlessness and desperate eyes
I was too kind
Because I let them forget me
With my hard work and my broken soul
I was too kind
Because I let it happen
Again and again
With tears at night
And smile at daylight
But I was too cruel
To my aching heart
To my empty soul
To my throbbing head
To my weakest body
I was cruel because I was too kind

I was too kind
Because I let them disparage me
I let them insult and slander me
With no truth nor right
I was too kind
Because I let them use my kindness
I let them use my weakness
With ruthlessness and desperate eyes
I was too kind
Because I let them forget me
With my hard work and my broken soul
I was too kind
Because I let it happen
Again and again
With tears at night
And smile at daylight
But I was too cruel
To my aching heart
To my empty soul
To my throbbing head
To my weakest body
I was cruel because I was too kind
