Lyrics Tell Myself to Be Kind - Jesper Binzer

Tell Myself to Be Kind

I’ve got two dogs fighting inside me, inside of my mind
And one is angry and selfish, the other is kind
And one is ego, the forgives and believes
And one is love, the other is greed
And one is envy, the other is sweet
So which one do I feed?
I tell myself to be kind
To stop speaking my mind
Yeah i’m crowding someones space, who wants nothing of mine
I tell myself to make nice
Yeah, little white lies
But i can’t dance if i’m Stepping on toes, and you want nothing of mine
I tell myself not to shine
There’s bird that lives in my heart and it needs to feel free, yeah
You locked my heart and threw away the key
And there’s a snake in my gut and it rests in the midday sun
The bird is out the light is on
The snake bites and the bird is gone, yeah
Which one do you want?
I tell myself to be kind
To stop speaking my mind
Yeah i’m crowding someones space, who wants nothing of mine
I tell myself to make nice
Yeah, little white lies
But i can’t dance if i’m Stepping on toes, and you want nothing of mine, no
I tell myself not to shine, Ooh
And if I’m stepping on someone’s toes, the space is mine
In my mirror, there is a wise man and a fool
And almost every day I ask what you want me to do
And one tells me to meet the world in disguise
The other says the human heart couldn’t carry such lies
But God help those who try
I tell myself to be kind
To stop speaking my mind
Yeah i’m crowding someones space, who wants nothing of mine
I tell myself to make nice
Yeah, little white lies
But I can’t dance, and I’m stepping on toes
Ooh, it’s nothing that matter
I tell myself not to shine
