all you wanted
was for someone to tell you
it's okay
it's all right
you just wanted someone to hold you
and help you through the night
I couldn't do that for you
I'm sorry
I can't be who you want me to be
I'm sorry
I can only soothe you with words
I'm sorry
and tell you things to make you happy
I can't be what you need
I'm sorry
I can't give you want you want
I'm sorry
but I can be kind
and kindness goes a long way
all you want
is me
but you can't have me
I'm Hers
but she doesn't want me
I'm sorry
I can only be kind
I see you
you're so broken
so sad
you need someone to love you
I can love you
just not in the way you want
I can only be kind
please don't fall for me
I don't want to hurt you
I want you to smile
I want to be your friend
but not your lover
not your man
I can only be kind to you
and carry you along
I can't stay with you
and I know that
that's not kind
