Kindness Kills Me Softly

[Intro]  
In the twilight of the city lights,  
A punk with scars that tell his fight,  
She stands there softly unafraid,  
Her kindness like a serenade.  
[Verse 1]  
Tattered jeans and a heart of steel,  
I roam these streets—it's how I feel,  
But every time I come back home,  
Her gentle smile cuts through the stone.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
She never says, "Just stay away,"  
She never asks me to betray  
The life I've built in the shadows deep,  
But with her love, it's hard to keep.  
[Chorus]  
Oh, her kindness is a bittersweet sound,  
Every bruise I wear, it drags me down,  
I want to change, but it cuts so deep,  
Her light, it shines, while I just creep.  
[Verse 2]  
Every scar that coats my skin,  
Is a whisper of the life I'm in,  
She cradles me when I'm all torn,  
But it kills me that she bears my scorn.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
Her eyes reflect a love so true,  
While I’m lost and don’t know what to do,  
I’m caught between the love and shame,  
Her gentle heart ignites the flame.  
[Chorus]  
Oh, her kindness is a bittersweet sound,  
Every bruise I wear, it drags me down,  
I want to change, but it cuts so deep,  
Her light, it shines, while I just creep.  
[Bridge]  
I wish I could be all she sees,  
A better man that walks with ease,  
But every night that I break apart,  
A piece of her enclaves my heart.  
[Outro]  
So I will fight the dark inside,  
For her I’ll rise, for her abide,  
But love like this, it tests my soul,  
Her kindness kills, yet makes me whole.
