KINDNESS
© 1995 Gregg Lyne

Seems like yesterday,
Lyin’ in my arms you looked into my eyes
And said you’d never go away
I believed what you said, I believed in you
I opened up my heart and I let you in
But you cut me so deep and I bled for so long
Until I thought the pain would never go away
You left me here and you never said a word
You just walked away, no reason given

If you’re gonna rock my world
Try a little kindness
Don’t keep comin’ round here
It can only remind us
Just walk away
And we can leave it all behind us
You don’t owe me a thing
Here I go again

Lord, it took so long getting over you
It took so very long to straighten out my head
I thought I’d made it through,
Thought I’d finally pulled my self up to my feet
Could start my life again
But now you’re standing at my door
Back to rub my nose in how great your life has been
Since you went away
You haven’t changed
Here we go again at the scene of the crime
The blood’s still on your hand

If you’re gonna rock my world
Try a little kindness
Don’t keep comin’ round here
It can only remind us
Just walk away
And we can leave it all behind us
You don’t owe me a thing
Here I go again

When you gonna let me go
I need time to heal,
If you come knockin’
I won’t open up the door
I know it’s time to draw the line
I won’t play your games,
I’m not going to let you tear me up inside
If you’re gonna rock my world
Try a little kindness
Don’t keep comin’ round here
It can only remind us
Just walk away
And we can leave it all behind us
You don’t owe me a thing
Here I go again
