Compassion

Compassion
Makes it hard to teach someone a lesson
You don't want to tell them the truth
If you understand exactly what they do

You know what they're going through
But sometimes you need to be hard
Save them by telling the awful truth
Before they fall apart

But it also works the other way around
When life hits you very hard
And you hope compassion can be found
To mend your broken heart

And then you hurt me by accident
I want to blame you and be mad
But at the same time I understand
Cause I've also made mistakes like that

When you have no notion
You judge and call someone sentimental
Until you experience the same emotion
You understand you've been too judgemental

I had to learn a little lesson
When I choose my words less carefully
They always get back to me
That's how I got compassion
