Tell Myself to Be Kind - Jesper Binzer

I’ve got two dogs fighting inside me, inside of my mind

And one is angry and selfish, the other is kind

And one is ego, the forgives and believes

And one is love, the other is greed

And one is envy, the other is sweet

So which one do I feed?

I tell myself to be kind

To stop speaking my mind

Yeah i’m crowding someones space, who wants nothing of mine

I tell myself to make nice

Yeah, little white lies

But i can’t dance if i’m Stepping on toes, and you want nothing of mine

I tell myself not to shine

There’s bird that lives in my heart and it needs to feel free, yeah

You locked my heart and threw away the key

And there’s a snake in my gut and it rests in the midday sun

The bird is out the light is on

The snake bites and the bird is gone, yeah

Which one do you want?

I tell myself to be kind

To stop speaking my mind

Yeah i’m crowding someones space, who wants nothing of mine

I tell myself to make nice

Yeah, little white lies

But i can’t dance if i’m Stepping on toes, and you want nothing of mine, no

I tell myself not to shine, Ooh

And if I’m stepping on someone’s toes, the space is mine

In my mirror, there is a wise man and a fool

And almost every day I ask what you want me to do

And one tells me to meet the world in disguise

The other says the human heart couldn’t carry such lies

But God help those who try

I tell myself to be kind

To stop speaking my mind

Yeah i’m crowding someones space, who wants nothing of mine

I tell myself to make nice

Yeah, little white lies

But I can’t dance, and I’m stepping on toes

Ooh, it’s nothing that matter

I tell myself not to shine
