Paroles de la chanson Don't Mistake My Kindness par IngaRose

I gave you room when you needed space
Put a little sunshine on your rainy days
Picked up the phone when nobody called
Stood right beside you when your world would fall

I made excuses for the things you did
Kept on forgiving tried to forget
But somewhere between your sorry and lies
I started seeing through my own eyes

I ain't bitter I ain't mad
I just learned from what I had
You can call it what you please
But you ain't walking over me

Don't mistake my kindness for weakness

Don't mistake my silence for fear
Just because I gave you chances
Don't mean I'm always gonna be here

I can love you from a distance
I can wish you nothing but the best
But don't mistake my kindness for weakness
I got a good heart not a welcome mat

(No no no no no)
(Not this time baby)
(Not this time)

I used to bend till I almost broke
Swallow my feelings laughed at your jokes
Made myself small so you'd feel tall
Now I wonder why I did that at all

See I can be gentle and still be strong
I can forgive you and still move on
I don't need revenge don't need to fight
I just need peace when I sleep at night

I ain't changing who I am
Still got love in these 2 hands
But I finally understand
I can draw a line right where I stand

Don't mistake my kindness for weakness
Don't mistake my silence for fear
Just because I gave you chances
Don't mean I'm always gonna be here

I can love you from a distance
I can wish you nothing but the best
But don't mistake my kindness for weakness

I got a good heart not a welcome mat

(Mmm not a welcome mat)
(You heard what I said)
(You know what I learned)
Everybody don't deserve a front row seat in your life
Some folks only call when they need something
Some folks only love you when you're doing what they want

But baby the day you start choosing yourself is the day they say you've changed
Well maybe I have
Maybe I finally learned
That my peace is worth protectin'

(Don't mistake my kindness for weakness)

(Don't mistake my silence for fear)
(I can walk away if I want to)
(When there's nothing left for me here)

I can love you from a distance
I don't owe you 1 more chance
Don't mistake my kindness for weakness
I'm a good woman who knows where she stands

(Oh yes I do)
(I know where I stand)
(I'm still kind)
(I'm still loving)
(I'm still me)
But I ain't nobody's fool
(No no no no no no no)
A good heart a strong mind and a whole lot of peace

Don't mistake my kindness for weakness
