On being unkind to yourself//and dreaming in reverse.

(Cause I sure can be unkind to myself)
(We can all be unkind to ourselves).

Someone like you- by Doug Paisley.

I've seen you stumble
I've seen you fall
I've seen you brought down, feathers and all
Picked yourself up for the ones that you call
Your best friends.
I know you've been fighting
What we can't see
Sometimes it takes many faces to be
It takes a time and a place to be free
But in the end

Who would be so cruel
To someone like you
No one but you
Who would make the rouse
For the things that you do
No one but you.

I woke up this morning
Looked at the sky
I thought of all of the time passing by
It didn't matter how hard we tried
'Cause in the end

Who would be so cruel
To someone like you
No one but you
Who would make the rouse
For the things that you do
No one but you.
