Lyrics

Verse 1

I drove across this city

When your car broke down in the rain

You didn't even say "Thank you"

Just asked me why I came so late

I stood there getting soaking wet

While you complained about your day

Swallowed what I wanted to tell you

Well, tonight, I'm gonna say

Chorus

Don't mistake my kindness

For a man who won't walk away

Just because I love you

Don't mean I've got to stay

I can give you all my heart

Still know where to draw the line

Don't mistake my kindness

I've got a backbone and a mind

Verse 2

You make your jokes at dinner

Everybody laughs but me

Then you squeeze my hand beneath the table

Say, "Don't be so sensitive"

I used to laugh along with you

Just to get us through the night

Now I'm setting down my fork, babe

That joke don't sit right

Chorus

Don't mistake my kindness

For a man who won't walk away

Just because I love you

Don't mean I've got to stay

I can give you all my heart

Still know where to draw the line

Don't mistake my kindness

I've got a backbone and a mind

Bridge

I don't need to raise my voice

To mean each word I say

I'll hear you out, I'll meet you halfway

But halfway goes both ways

There's room beside me at this table

If respect comes with you too

But I can eat my supper peaceful

With an empty chair for two

Chorus

Don't mistake my kindness

For a man who won't walk away

Just because I love you

Don't mean I've got to stay

My heart is still wide open

But this time, so are my eyes

Don't mistake my kindness

I won't leave myself behind

Outro

I can love you

And still draw the line

Don't mistake my kindness

This heart is also mine

Yeah, this heart

Is also mine
