[Verse 1]
All the pain and money in the world
Couldn't make you check the time
Couldn't make you trust me really
Couldn't make you feel alone
[Verse 2]
All the land and creatures in the world
Couldn't make you let them go
Couldn't make you let them go
Wouldn't catch you speaking
[Chorus]
Kindness to yourself is a virtue
Looking down upon those who you know and have hurt you
Looking up upon those who you know and indulge you
Looking right across the table to those who hold you
Safely to the ground
[Verse 3]
Here you go round, enough
This is what you breath now
I was just a cut below the last of what you thought you were
Mine and yours
This is what I breathe now
I was just a cut against the face of who you thought was her
Whom have I become?
I thought you knew this
Somewhat unbecoming of the kid who got you through this [?]
Truth is I been trying
I been trying hard lately
[Verse 4]
Well you said there'll always be something
And I said that I thought you were wrong
And you said I was acting peculiar
And I said it was you who was
[Chorus 2]
But kindness to yourself is a virtue
Looking down upon those who you know and have hurt you
Looking up upon those you know who indulge you
Looking right across the table at those who know
And who hold you
Safely to the ground
