When you're stuck on the night bus and feel like your heart is a brick
And you've taken the treatment but can't stop yourself feeling sick
Cos you know something's wrong and you've bitten your nails to the quick
And you look at yourself with contempt for the finger you flick
You know that your hate is a weakness
You know that you need to be brave
But you're scared of that something inside you
That cries in the night to be saved
Be kind to yourself
In the end there's no-one else
Be kind to yourself
Be kind, please be kind, please be kind, be kind to yourself
When you're looking across at the city from your window sill
And your jealousy creeps up inside you and threatens to kill
And you want to be great but you know you're just run of the mill
And you're desperate for something to change but you haven't the will
You know that your hate is a weakness
You know that you need to be brave
But you're scared of that something inside you
That cries in the night to be saved
Be kind to yourself
In the end there's no-one else
Be kind to yourself
Be kind, please be kind, please be kind, be kind to yourself
What happened to you is not you
What happened to you is not you ...
