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
