You Were a Kindness

You Were A Kindness - The National

Written by：Aaron Dessner

I was in a fog

I didn't notice everything

Was coming all apart inside of me

There wasn't anyway for anyone to settle in

You made a slow disaster out of me

There's a radiant darkness upon us

I don't want you to worry

I was careful but nothing is harmless

Baby you better hurry

You were a kindness when I was a stranger

But I wouldn't ask for what I didn't need

Everything's weird and we're always in danger

Why would you shatter somebody like me

It doesn't work that way

Wanting not to want you won't make it so

It doesn't work that way

Don't leave me here alone

I'll do what I can to be a confident wreck

Can't feel this way forever I mean

There wasn't any way for anyone to settle in

You made a slow disaster out of me

There's a radiant darkness upon us

But I don't want you to worry

I was careful but nothing is harmless

Baby you better hurry

You were a kindness when I was a stranger

But I wouldn't ask for what didn't need

Everythings weird and we're always in danger

Why would you shatter somebody like me

It doesn't work that way

Wanting not to want you want make it so

It doesn't work that way

Don't leave me here alone

It doesn't work that way

Wanting not to want you want make it so

It doesn't work that way

Don't leave me here alone
