You can wear a number of disguises   You don’t look any different to me   You can cover ignorance with shyness   And tell me that’s the only way to be   I could learn to live with your delusions   And never let them bring me to my knees   But don’t go killing me with kindness   Please      I could get a hang up on reprisals   And give you back the shit I have to take   I could lay my hand upon the Bible   And swear to God you’re nothing but a fake   You can keep the feathers for your own cap   And maybe that will set your mind at ease   But don't go killing me with kindness   Don’t go killing me with kindness   Don’t go killing me with kindness   Please      All you want to do is write a book about yourself   Not a single word about anybody else   You turn back the pages when you’re coming to the end   Over & over again      So you’ve become a victim of your own curse   You kick your last pedestal away   There’s no point singing on the last verse   There’s really nothing else I want to say   So here you are hanging on my final words   You quiver like a candle in the breeze      Don’t go killing me with kindness   Don’t go killing me with kindness   Don’t go killing me with kindness   Please   Don't   Don’t go   Don’t go killing me   Don’t go killing me with kindness   Please
