VERSE 1
Try to understand what life is throwing my way
Never gonna get this world down everyday
Still I’m gonna wear my heart on the sleeve of my arm
And it’s gonna stay that way even as the world sounds the alarm
CHORUS
But never mistake, my kindness for a weakness
Because I’m stronger than you’ll ever know
And I’ll let it show
VERSE 2
Yes I survived growing up in a broken home
Whiskey bottles on the kitchen counter is all I’ve ever know
Father walked out of my life at the age of 14
And from that point on I’ve fought to be the man that he could never have been
CHORUS
But never mistake, my kindness for a weakness
Because I’m stronger than you’ll ever know
And I’ll let it show
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
VERSE 3
Now I’m in a brand new city making my own way
Things no longer take me over without my say
Friends have helped me find the path that I should be on
And things may not be perfect but I know for now that I have won
CHORUS
But never mistake, my kindness for a weakness
Because I’m stronger than you’ll ever know
And I’ll let it show, I’ll let it show, I’ll let it show
