Don't you sit on the sidewalk
I forget how I could talk
Back to the dog that pursues me
I remember my hometown
And this new one's a letdown
When I think of how
I used to be
I used to be kind
I used to be kind
Oh St. Cecilia, I know you're singing your best song
But these melodies and ecstasies
Can only keep me going for so long
Too much fight in these teeth
Too much strength in this jaw
I start to think
That a mouthful of words
I regret now
I used to be kind
I used to be kind
Oh St. Cecilia, I know you're singing your best song
But these melodies and ecstasies
Can only keep me going for so long
I used to be kind
I used to be kind
I used to be kind
I used to be good
Oh, since you've seen it, I know you'll sing the best song
But these melodies and ecstasies can only keep it going for so long
