we were kind at the end

we were kind at the end lyrics

Verse 1

I kept it in my mouth
Too long, too long
Let the quiet do
What I couldn't do

I watched the small things go
Off the edge of us
A cup left in the sink
A coat on the chair

Pre-Chorus

And I knew
I knew
When your eyes went soft
That the room had changed

I knew
I knew
We were standing close
In a different way

Chorus

We were kind at the end
We were kind at the end
(we were kind at the end)

We let each other go
With our hands still warm
We were kind at the end
We were kind at the end

Verse 2

I stayed through the part
That hurt to name
I held my breath
Like it could save us

You said my name so low
Like a cracked-in-two hymn
And I heard the truth
Before you said it

Pre-Chorus

And I knew
I knew
When your smile broke first
That we were already there

I knew
I knew
Love can leave a mark
And still be fair

Chorus

We were kind at the end
We were kind at the end
(we were kind at the end)

We let each other go
With our hands still warm
We were kind at the end
We were kind at the end

Bridge

I was not the fire
I was not the flood
I was just the door
You could walk through

You were not the wound
You were not the blame
We were two soft hearts
In the same dark room

And if I call it loss
Let it still be true
You were gentle there
I was gentle too

We were kind at the end
We were kind at the end
(we were kind at the end)

We let each other go
With our hands still warm
We were kind at the end
We were kind at the end

We were kind at the end
We were kind at the end
(we were kind at the end)

We said what we could say
Then we let it fall
We were kind at the end
We were kind at the end
