I asked what you thought of me
If I could see what you see
But you shattered my bones the whole way home
And picked apart every piece
I tried to be close to you
And did what I had to do
But you killed me with words until it burned
And laughed 'til the fire was through
Can you be kinder to me
Can you please tread lightly
I swear I'm alright if you give me a try
Can you be kinder to me
To others you seem to be nice
Compare and contrast every time
But once we're alone you sit on your throne
And tear me down from up high
Can you be kinder to me
Can you please tread lightly
I swear I'm alright if you give me a try
Can you be kinder to me
Some days you seem to give up
And sometimes I feel like enough
And when I shine bright you fight a good fight
To help me see the sun
Can you be kinder to me
Can you please tread lightly
I swear I'm alright if you give me a try
Can you be kinder to me
I know sometimes it hurts to know what you're worth
So can you be kinder to me
