Kindness of Strangers - Courtney Marie Andrews

In a lump inside your throat or in a pile of could’ve beens

All the small talk and the catch up and the empty promises

How do you dive deeper in a shallow riverbed?

When the current pulls you further from what you should’ve said

Getting by on the kindness of strangers

Getting by on the kindness of strangers

When you’re trying to be tender, but instead you come off cold

When your sweetness surrenders to the cruelness of this world

All the small stuff and the bad luck when it all becomes too much

How do you find solace in a place so quick to judge?

Do you try and play it cool or play the part you think they want?

People come and people go and some will make their mark

Like an iron to the bull, a symbol in your heart

And the ones that stick around are the hardest ones to find

And if you can’t find the closeness, you need the kindness to survive

Getting by on the kindness of strangers

Getting by on the kindness of strangers

Getting by (Kindness of strangers)
