So Kind To Me

Because you were so kind to me 
For you I’ll play this melody 

All These wishes 
I demanded you to be 
As I reached for stars 
only I could see 

Now your whispers 
Are so vague and clear
How I selfishly 
made this choice in fear 

Because you were so kind to me
For you I’ll play this melody

I’ve placed my want 
On things that I don’t need 
All the sadness 
that dwells within my greed 

Don’t you love 
the stranger that I’ve become 
And I know you think 
That I don’t feel

But because you were so kind to me 
For you I’ll play this melody 

Now I know 
just how we’ve been
How I could not keep you
Close enough to see 

Where I wander
I’m further lost
All these things you saw in me 
What happened to the dream
We looked to be

But you were so kind to me

Now your pain has
severed my knees 
A day in a life 
Lived in ease 
Your every tear 
Disguised as me
