Kimo Sounds Plain And Simple

When
I'm short, it's never a performance
I'm not counting what
I get in return
I give my time because
I want to
Not because there's a lesson
I need to learn
My kindness isn't a business plan
There's no return
I'm keeping score
I just care plain and simple
That's the whole shape of my love
Don't mistake my softness for knowing
Don't mistake my patience for knowing
I can give you everything that's real and still walk away if you pretend
My heart was never a transaction, but it's not an open door for everyone
I give because
I choose to, not because
I owe you what's already done
I've learned that mean what
I say doesn't mean
I owe you all to me
Some people take the softest hands and forget those hands can't set them free
I'm done confusing loyalty with silence
But
I keep the part of me that decides how
I live
Don't mistake my softness for no limits
Don't mistake my patience for no end
I can give you everything that's fair and still walk away if you pretend
My heart was never a transaction, but it's not an open door for everyone
I give because
I choose to, not because
I owe you what's already done
