You were almost kind
You were almost true
Don’t let me see that other side of you.
You have learned in time
That you must be cruel
I’ll have to wait to get the best of you.

Poison in everything you say,
Don’t you don’t you.
Wonder what difference does it make
Either way.

You were almost kind
You were almost true
Why give away that other side of you.
Happens every time
So it must be true
Step on a kid he’ll grow up hating you.

Poison in every thing you say,
Don’t you don’t you.
Wonder what difference does it make
Either way.

Were you ever kind
Were you always cruel
Who has ever seen that other side of you.
Happened every time
So it must be true
Where did you learn it’s either him or you.

You were almost kind
