Meant to Be Kind

I was telling you about a boy
Who struggled to breath
The air got thinner when he walked my way
And got closer to me

I could break his heart
Only I knew how
I could build him up
And then I'd lay him down

With all that I've done
How could he know
It's so hard for me letting him go
I meant to be kind but I had to be cruel
There came a time
When it was up to me down to me
I had to bear letting him go

I can't talk about it anymore
His hold on me
People tell me that I must forgive and try to believe!
We're just strangers now
That will never meet
He's much safer now
He's away from me

With all that I've done
How could he know
It's so hard for me letting him go
I meant to be kind but I had to be cruel
There came a time
When it was up to me down to me
I had to bear letting him go

With all that I've done
How could he know
It's so hard for me letting him go
I meant to be kind but I had to be cruel
There came a time
When it was up to me down to me
I had to bear letting him go
