Killing Me With Kindness

Your eyes are cold Your words are weak You stay with me Though your heart still seeks A love you cherished But a love denied Your kiss tells me This is goodbye I lay down next to you But we both understand Come morning you'll be with him You were always kind You treated me well But you never loved me I knew it still Foolishly I believed I could change your heart But I know I was wrong Hearing your footsteps in the dark I let you leave Without a word I pretend to sleep But you know I heard Your footsteps in the dark Walking away, walking away... The morning sun Shines bright and new I drink my coffee Feeling mighty blue You were never mean Never cruel Your kindness to me Made me a fool For the greatest sin You could do Killing me with kindness Leaving me to live Without you.
