Kindness Can Be Cruel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I give my heart
It can't be taken away
I once met a man who met a man
Who once met a woman
And he said
The one man I meet
Will meet with his undoing
Like a thoroughbred horse
Without remorse
Acting like a mule
I'll carry you baby
Kindness can be cruel
I heard of a man who heard of a man
Who'd heard from a woman
Saying
I can't hear what I'm hearing
But I hear it's your undoing
When carpenters hammer
And chisel your glamor
I will lend you a tool
And carve sculpture
Kindness can be cruel
Man I knew a man who knew a man
Who'd once loved a woman
And she said
Man I wouldn't know that man
Knowing what I know he's doing
My best friends
Live for their own ends
I'd take your bullet in a duel
Better I bleed
Kindness can be cruel
