Kissing to be unkind
Making them closer than they were before
And keeping a permanently open door
Show them your surgically-open heart
To be sure they won't be seeking more
Losing their hand has made you hard to please
Retaining the past a terminal disease
It's like an exilherating sorrow
You can touch it, it's so near
It's so far gone by tomorrow
An anticipated fear
Walking alone under a cloud of loss
And wearing rejection like a painted cross
Staring at streets that make you stop and yеarn
For the love you nonchalantly tossed
Can I hopе to step into their shoes?
Have they left enough for you to lose?
Surely the words that made your memories burn
Will eliminate the unpaid dues
And I'm breathless with dejection
Aggravated to unwind
The lessons and attention
Lost the will to fight
You smother me with your sadness
I surf in your open mind
Threaten me with your weakness
And kiss me to be unkind
Slaying me in slow-motion
And leaving the love behind
You're crying an entire ocean
And kissing to be unkind
You smother me with your sadness
I surf in your open mind
Threaten me with your weakness
And kiss me to be unkind
Slaying me in slow-motion
And leaving the love behind
You're crying an entire ocean
And kissing to be unkind
Kissing to be unkind
(Kissing to be unkind)
Kissing to be unkind
You're withholding what you're giving
And you're choking just to breathe
Embracing to forsake them
And arriving just to leave
