Either Way

You were almost kind,
You were almost true,
Don't let me see
That other side of you

You have learned in time
That you must be cruel,
I'll have to wait
To get the best of you

Poison in everything you say
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make
Either way

You were almost kind,
You were almost true,
But give away that other side of you

Happens every time
So it must be true
Step on a kid
He'll grow up hating you

Poison in everything you say
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make
Either way

Were you ever kind?
Were you always cruel?
Who's ever seen
That other side of you?

Happened every time,
So it must be true
Where did you learn
It's either him or you

You were almost kind,
You were almost true,
Don't let me see
That other side of you

You have learned in time
That you must be cruel,
I'll have to wait
To get the best of you

Poison in everything you say
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make
Either way
