I Was Kind To You

You came in late Like you always do Said there was traffic But I knew it wasn’t true I made you tea You let it go cold You looked at your hands Like they had somewhere to go And I don’t want to fight I don’t want to be right I just stood there In the kitchen light I was kind to you Wasn’t I? I was kind to you Wasn’t I? I held the door I let it die I was kind to you Wasn’t I? You said my name Like nothing was wrong Like I had not been waiting All night long And I almost laughed That is the worst part How small it all sounded When it broke my heart And I don’t want to shout I don’t want to fall down I just need you to say You knew somehow I was kind to you Wasn’t I? I was kind to you Wasn’t I? I held the door I let it die I was kind to you Wasn’t I? Wasn’t I? Wasn’t I? Wasn’t I? I gave you the quiet When you needed space I changed my voice I changed my face I said it was nothing I said I was fine How many times Can I step aside? I was kind to you Wasn’t I? I was kind to you Wasn’t I? I held the door I let it die I was kind to you Wasn’t I? I was kind to you Wasn’t I? I was kind to you Wasn’t I?
