If I’m unkind it’s because I’m the devil
If I’m unkind it’s because of your eyes
If I’m unkind it’s because I don’t know better
If I’m unkind it’s because of your smile
If I break your heart know it was my greatest game
To set you up just like a fox who didn’t see the cage
If I break your heart it’s because we’re the same
The element of surprise, everyone does it these days
If I’m unkind it’s because I’m a coward
If I’m unkind it’s cause the world is a mess
If I’m unkind it’s cause you never bought me flowers
If I’m unkind it’s cause you didn’t care about my brand new dress
If I’m unkind it’s cause you’ve more feeling
In your laugh than I do in my touch
If I’m unkind you’ve gotta know the only reason
Is I’ve got a heart that really isn’t much
If I break your heart it’s because you were gentle
And I only know pleasure from knowing pain
If I break your heart it’s because I was tired
We let the fire die and you began to look plain
If I’m unkind know I regret it
If I’m unkind know I’m not made of stone
If I’m unkind know that it wasn’t worth it
If I’m unkind know it’s only because
I’m simply terrified
Of being alone.
