lyrics

When it comes to being kind, well it’s all I’ve ever known.
But I don’t show myself the kindness that to others I have shown.
I’d take it easy on myself but I’m too busy throwing stones.
I’m everybody’s best friend but by own.

I stand in my own way. I empty my own cup.
I’ve earnt all the ribbons for beating myself up.
I carry much love in my heart of which myself I do deprive.
I’m a waiter at the restaurant where I eat myself alive.

My inner voice is raising. Yeah it’s got something to share.
Says “I as much as anyone, deserve my love and care”
I ought to show myself the love that to others I provide.
For the best thing I can do, is to be on my own side.
So I’m firing my inner critic and I’m gonna make it snappy.
Life is far too short to be anything but happy.
I sure hope that I grow now the seeds of change are sewn.
For the only heart I’m breaking is my own.
