Kind to Myself (Health Gentle)

Verse 1

I used to talk to me in a voice so cold

Every little stumble was a story retold

I'd never speak that way to a friend in need

So why was I the one I'd never help or heed

Pre-Chorus

So I'm changing the words in my head

Choosing softer things instead

Chorus

I'm learning to be kind to myself

Put the heavy rocks back on the shelf

When I fall I'll lend a gentle hand

Like a friend who's sure to understand

I'm learning to be kind to myself

Verse 2

I'll make a cup of tea when the day gets long

I'll let a quiet evening be where I belong

I'll write a little note that says you did okay

And let tomorrow carry what I couldn't do today

Pre-Chorus

So I'm changing the words in my head

Choosing softer things instead

Chorus

I'm learning to be kind to myself

Put the heavy rocks back on the shelf

When I fall I'll lend a gentle hand

Like a friend who's sure to understand

I'm learning to be kind to myself

Bridge

It's not giving up, it's not letting go

Of the dreams I hold or the ways I grow

It's making room for a softer start

A little more grace for this tired heart

Final Chorus

I'm learning to be kind to myself

Put the heavy rocks back on the shelf

When I fall I'll lend a gentle hand

Like a friend who's sure to understand

I'm learning to be kind to myself

Outro

Kind to myself
