Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Acoustic

guitar

picking,

soft

and

slow)

Yeah,

sometimes

the

heart

is

just

a

rental

And

the

bill

comes

due

when

you

least

expect

it

I

see

you

now

I

remember

when

you

came

to

my

door

Said

you

had

nowhere

to

go,

just

looking

for

more

You

couldn't

pay

your

rent,

the

lights

were

going

dim

I

opened

up

my

home,

I

let

you

settle

in

For

three

long

years,

we

shared

the

bread

and

the

wine

I

gave

you

my

comfort,

I

gave

you

my

time

But

the

moment

that

you

got

that

job

and

the

key

You

turned

your

back

on

the

love

I

gave

for

free

Now

you’

re

driving

a

Benz,

but

your

soul

is

in

debt

All

the

promises

made,

are

the

ones

you

forget

You

took

the

roof

and

the

warmth

and

the

care

Then

left

me

with

nothing

but

the

cold

morning

air

Oh,

the

price

of

kindness

is

a

lesson

I’

ve

learned

Watching

bridges

fall

down

that

I

never

burned

Then

there’

s

Pastor

Maria,

with

a

holy

disguise

Always

preaching

the

truth

while

she’

s

feeding

you

lies

She

doesn’

t

have

a

business,

no

work

to

be

found

Just

circling

my

clients,

trying

to

tear

me

down

She

goes

behind

my

back

just

to

ruin

my

name

Using

the

grace

of

God

to

play

a

dirty

game

It’

s

a

bitter

realization,

how

the

fake

ones

pray

While

they

steal

the

harvest

of

the

seeds

that

I

lay

Now

you’

re

driving

a

Benz,

but

your

soul

is

in

debt

All

the

promises

made,

are

the

ones

you

forget

You

took

the

roof

and

the

warmth

and

the

care

Then

left

me

with

nothing

but

the

cold

morning

air

Oh,

the

price

of

kindness

is

a

lesson

I’

ve

learned

Watching

bridges

fall

down

that

I

never

burned

They

call

it

one

katanacio,

a

lesson

in

disguise

To

see

the

true

colors

behind

those

hollow

eyes

I

used

to

help

everyone

who

stood

in

my

way

But

I’

m

tired

of

the

dust,

and

I’

m

tired

of

the

play

If

you

don't

reciprocate,

then

the

gate

has

to

close

I’

m

done

being

the

garden

for

your

poisonous

rose (

Slow,

emotive,

mournful

melody)

So

keep

your

Mercedes,

keep

your

shallow

success

I’

m

clearing

my

conscience,

I’

m

cleaning

this

mess

I

gave

you

my

best

when

you

had

nothing

at

all

But

you

chose

the

vanity

and

the

pride

of

the

fall

I’

m

moving

on

forward,

leaving

footprints

in

clay

Watching

the

shadows

as

they

fade

away

God

will

judge

the

heart

that’

s

hidden

in

the

night

I’

m

walking

away,

stepping

into

the

light

Now

you’

re

driving

a

Benz,

but

your

soul

is

in

debt

All

the

promises

made,

are

the

ones

you

forget

You

took

the

roof

and

the

warmth

and

the

care

Then

left

me

with

nothing

but

the

cold

morning

air

Oh,

the

price

of

kindness

is

a

lesson

I’

ve

learned

Watching

bridges

fall

down

that

I

never

burned

Yeah,

you

can't

buy

integrity

with

a

brand

new

car

I

hope

you

find

your

way,

no

matter

how

far

I’

m

done

being

used

I’

m

done

with

the

games

Just

another

memory,

just

another

name (

Fade

out

with

soft

piano

chords)
