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 said
 Don't you, don't you
 Wonder what difference does it make
 Either way?
 You were almost kind, you were almost true
 Why 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 said
 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 said
 Don't you, don't you?
 Wonder what difference does it make
 Either way...
