[Verse]
They take all you got they never give back
Hands out for the taking keep you off track
Heart on your sleeve just rips in the fight
They walk away you’re left in the night
[Chorus]
Being good turns bitter they see you bleed
They drink you empty call it their need
Nobody looks back when you're on the floor
Being kind in this world it's a losing war
[Verse 2]
Your compass spins when they hold the wheel
They wear no masks their truth you feel
Cold winds of apathy blow through your chest
You give your soul they take the rest
[Bridge]
Dreams cracked like a broken shell
Echoes rising of a warning bell
Why is kindness buried deep in the dirt
Every favor turning to hurt
[Chorus]
Being good turns bitter they see you bleed
They drink you empty call it their need
Nobody looks back when you're on the floor
Being kind in this world it's a losing war
[Verse 3]
But still you rise against the tide
Take the hits you can’t hide
The weight of hope a heavy crown
Pull yourself up they can’t pull you down
