Official audio and Lyric Video for Kind To Myself by Tenth Avenue North
Lyrics
I’ve tried to hate myself
Thinking that’s how things will change,
But it never helps
Piling up the blame
Fighting fire with fire
Hurt with more hurt.
Breaking my own heart
Makes everything worse.
I got to be kind kind to myself
Cause I can’t change change any way else
If the kindness of my savior
Is how he changes me
Then I can be kind kind to myself.
I know it sounds insane,
But the old way wasn’t working
Try to medicate
When the pain’s under the surface.
I’ve never healed by powering through.
I had to learn how to see me
The way that you do
Don’t misunderstand
It’s not permission
It’s conviction over condemnation
Oh the curious love of God
Such a better and sweeter song
Has a way of showing me
What’s really going on.
