lyrics

Call It a Kindness

Let’s not pretend we didn’t play a part.
We knew where this was going from the start.
You with your fireworks, me with my flood,
Trails of tears and rivers of blood.

Call it a kindness, call it a mercy
Call it the act we’ve all been rehearsing.
Call it a mercy, call it a kindness,
Call it a day and put the whole thing behind us.

One hand on the light switch and one foot out the door
Why do I feel like we’ve been here before?
Promised ourselves we’d never cross this line,
Then scratched it out at least a hundred times

Call it a kindness, call it a mercy
Call it the act we’ve all been rehearsing.
Call it a mercy, call it a kindness,
Call it a day and put the whole thing behind us.

A little less love and a little more
Common decency should even the score.
And when our eyes meet at the end of days,
We’ll raise a glass and go our separate ways.

Call it a kindness, call it a mercy
Call it the act we’ve all been rehearsing.
Call it a mercy, call it a kindness,
Call it a day and put the whole damn thing behind us.
