Even a sordid soul still believes there is hope.
Even the wicked have their own virtue—of which they boast.
So why do all the kindest people I know hate themselves the most?
Tormented by the sins that they’ll never commit,
They do the sweetest things few ever see, in the quiet.
Oh, tell me why the kindest people I know never feel like they deserve to live?
It must be a joke. It’s so tragic that they’re worthless and wrong in their own eyes—
That if you show them how much they mean to you, by just being there,
They wouldn’t care. It’s not enough.
Maybe the seeds you sow always bloom hundredfold.
Maybe the love you make always will be fully returned.
Still, tell me why the kindest people I know find it hard to take the love they’ve earned?
Though we’d be there for them if they ever should call,
And though we try to help with anything that we can do,
I don’t know why the kindest people I know think that secretly we hate them too!
