R-rated. Sorry, write this for a metal band and they curse. A lot!

This was really written about me, about a person who made the mistake of confusing kindness for weakness.
So I’m the “she” but it’s a male vocalist.

She never said a mean word
Was perpetually nice
Twisted her emotions
Til her heart turned cold as ice

You wanted her to thank you
When you tossed her scraps and bits
She blew it back into your face
Laughing, said, “Go fuck that shit.”

You saw kindness
And decided to cause damage
Thought it was weakness
And then tried to take advantage
Your plan’s collapsing
Didn’t work out like you planned it
Who knew quiet before storms
Warn the future’s turning savage

You see her walking toward you
And you run the other way
First time in your life you found
A game that you can’t play

But a coward likes to hear his voice
And you’re forced now to admit
There’s nothing left worth hearing
It’s all obviously bullshit

You saw softness
And assumed that she was weak
Manners and politeness
You translated to mean meek
Loud, obnoxious, bully.
Thought you were killing it
She sized you up for what you are
A tiny man-Go fuck that shit

Red-faced bluster, crazy rants
Go throw that man-sized fit
You mistook kindness for weakness
Take your noise and fuck that shit.

(Or in case there weren’t enough curses, last line could be: Fuck that noise and fuck that shit.)
