The Kindest Thing
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.
Wake up to your call at 6: 00 am
I've been sleeping fine it's clear you haven't been
I thought I turned my phone off, won't make that mistake again
How could there be any more to say?
Let's not talk for the thousandth time
You've said your peace and I've said mine
I'm thinking it's too late
(Cause on and on we'd go)
Cause I've been trying to let go of you
But you hold on like you always do
Trying to make me think you've changed
Cause on and on we'd go
If I don't stand for what I know
I'm not stringing you along
Into thinking it's a perfect love song
Where we kiss and make up
No honey, this song is a breakup
Cause being kind to you
Is the meanest thing that I could ever do
Was it love or was it just a habit?
A pattern I create and then I crash it?
Can't say yes or no or if we ever had it
But somehow I knew, we'd end up this way
So let's not talk for the thousandth time
You've said your peace and I've said mine
I'm thinking it's too late
Cause I've been trying to let go of you
But you hold on like you always do
I won't make the same mistake
Cause on and on we'd go
If I don't stand for what I know
I'm not stringing you along
Into thinking it's a perfect love song
Where we kiss and make up
No honey, this song is a breakup
Cause being kind to you
Is the meanest thing that I could ever do
Time won't make me love you
I won't waste my heart on what I know isn't true
How many times can I say goodbye? Goodbye?
Being mean to you
Is the kindest thing that I could do
I'm not stringing you along
Into thinking it's a perfect love song
Where we kiss and make up
No honey, this song is a breakup
Cause being kind to you
Is the meanest thing that I could ever do
(Cause on and on we'd go)
(Cause on and on we'd go)
(Cause on and on we'd go)
(Cause on and on we'd go)
(Cause on and on we'd go)
(Cause on and on we'd go)
