Because I’m kind

Verse 1

I lower my voice

So you won’t change

I think before I breathe

Say less… stay safe

I tell myself

It’s all in my head

But my chest feels heavy

From the things you said

Chorus (whispered)

I’ve been used

Because I’m kind

I believe you

Every time

You say you love me

Then you lie

I feel myself

Slowly hide

Verse 2

I say sorry

When you’re wrong

I hold the peace

And carry on

You say I’m sensitive

I say okay

I swallow words

I don’t say

Chorus (barely sung)

I’ve been used

Because I care

I stay quiet

So you stay there

You twist the truth

I take the blame

I’m not allowed

To feel the pain

Bridge (spoken / breath)

If I speak

You pull away

So I whisper

And I stay

Final Chorus (soft, higher harmony option)

I’ve been used

Because I’m good

I loved you more

Than I should

I’m still kind

Just breaking through

I’m finding my voice

Without you

Outro (almost silence)

I’m not weak

I was gentle
