V5.5

[Intro] Some people see kindness… And think it means there’s no fight inside. But they forget… Even the calmest ocean… Can become a wave. ⸻ [Verse 1] I’ll be the shoulder when your world falls apart The listening ear when you need a fresh start I’ll hold your secrets, I’ll dry your tears Be the calm in your storm, the light through your fears I give without asking I love without chains I’ll stand beside you through sunshine and rain Compassion runs deep Like a river through my veins I’m the safest place… When you’re lost in the rain. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I forgive your mistakes I believe you can change I’ll see the good in you When nobody knows your name I’ll walk through the fire Just to keep you from the flame But remember… A gentle heart… Still knows its name. ⸻ [Chorus] I’m the kindest, most compassionate soul you’ll find An understanding heart that reads between the lines I’ll lift you up when the world brings you low I’m the best friend you’ll ever know But back me in a corner Push me too far Watch this gentle spirit Turn into a scar Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness, my love… I come out swinging… When I’ve got nowhere to run. ⸻ Hey… Don’t put Baby in a corner… ⸻ [Verse 2] I’ve spent so many years giving pieces away Putting everyone else before my own name I carried your burdens Like they were my own Built you a shelter… While forgetting my home But there’s a line you don’t cross A place you don’t go When trust starts breaking And respect starts to fold I stay calm for as long as I can… But when I’m backed in that corner… You’ll finally understand. ⸻ [Bridge] I’ve been soft for too long I’ve been kind for too much I’ve turned the other cheek Till it hurt to the touch But there’s a fire inside me You’ve never seen A strength that was waiting… Quiet and unseen. I don’t want war… I don’t want pain… I just want love that feels safe again. But if you leave me nowhere to go… You’ll meet the strength… I’ve always known. ⸻ [Final Chorus] I’m the kindest, most compassionate soul you’ll find An understanding heart that reads between the lines I’ll lift you up when the world brings you low I’m the best friend you’ll ever know But back me in a corner Push me too far Watch this gentle spirit Turn into a star Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness, my love… I come out swinging… And the fight has just begun. ⸻ [Outro] Yeah… I’m the kindest you’ll ever know… I’ll give you love… I’ll give you light… But don’t put Baby in a corner… Because even peace… Can learn to fight.
