Be Kind
Halsey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you don't have a bad bone in your body
But the bruises on your ego make you go wild, wild, wild, yeah
Wanna believe, wanna believe
That even when you're stone cold, you're sorry
Tell me why you gotta be so out of your mind, yeah
I know you're chokin' on your fears
I will stay by your side every night
I don't know why you hide from the one
And close your eyes to the one
Mess up and lie to the one that you love
When you know you can cry to the one
Always confide in the one
You can be kind to the one that you love
Ah
I know you need, I know you need
The upper hand even when we aren't fighting
'Cause in the past, you had to prepare every time, yeah
Don't wanna leave, don't wanna leave
But if you're gonna fight then do it for me
I know you're built to love, but broken now, so just try, yeah
I know you're chokin' on your fears
Already told you, I'm right here
I will stay by your side every night
I don't know why you hide from the one
And close your eyes to the one
Mess up and lie to the one that you love
When you know you can cry to the one
Always confide in the one
You can be kind to the one that you love
Ah
I know it's hard for you, but it's not fair
Going sick in the head tryna get you there
And I know it's hard for you, but it's not fair
It's not fair
I don't know why you hide from the one
And close your eyes to the one
Mess up and lie to the one that you love
When you know you can cry to the one
Always confide in the one
You can be kind to the one that you love
Ah
Ah
When you know you can cry to the one
Always confide in the one
You can be kind to the one that you love
Ah
In "Be Kind," Halsey speaks to someone who's struggling to open up and show their vulnerable side. The song suggests that there is always someone who will be there to listen and provide support, and it's crucial to be kind to those we love. The opening lines, "Wanna believe, wanna believe / That you don't have a bad bone in your body," suggest that the person being addressed has some emotional baggage that may have led to actions that hurt others. However, it's important to see past these actions and recognize that everyone has their own struggles. The line "But the bruises on your ego make you go wild, wild, wild, yeah" indicates that the person may have a hard time acknowledging their own faults and is lashing out as a result.
Halsey then goes on to assure them that they have her support: "I know you're chokin' on your fears / Already told you I'm right here / I will stay by your side every night." The repetition of "the one" throughout the chorus reinforces the importance of being there for the person we love and opening up to them. The lines "I know it's hard for you, but it's not fair / Going sick in the head tryna get you there" suggest that the person being addressed is struggling with their own inner demons and needs support to overcome them.
Overall, "Be Kind" is a song about the importance of being there for one another and recognizing that everyone has their own struggles. Halsey's lyrics remind us to be kind to ourselves and to those we love, even in difficult times.

I want to believe that you're not a bad person, but sometimes when your ego gets bruised, you act crazy. I want to believe that even when you're emotionless, you're remorseful. However, your irrational behavior confuses me.

I will stay by your side every night
I know you're struggling with your fears and doubts. You don't have to go through it alone. I'm here for you and will support you every single night.

I don't understand why you avoid being honest with the person you love. You make mistakes and tell lies when it's unnecessary because you can always share your feelings with the one you love. You can be gentle and understanding towards the person who cares about you.
I know you need, I know you need
The upper hand even when we aren't fighting
'Cause in the past, you had to prepare every time, yeah
Don't wanna leave, don't wanna leave
But if you're gonna fight then do it for me
I know you're built to love, but broken now, so just try, yeah
I understand that you like to be in control, even when we're not arguing. Maybe it's because you had to protect yourself in the past. I don't want to end things between us, but if we're going to argue, please do it respectfully for my sake. I know you're capable of loving someone wholeheartedly, but you're currently damaged. Please try to work on it.
I know it's hard for you, but it's not fair
Going sick in the head tryna get you there
And I know it's hard for you, but it's not fair
It's not fair
I know it's challenging for you to overcome your struggles, but it's not right for you to go through it alone. It's not fair for you to suffer by yourself.
When you know you can cry to the one
Always confide in the one
You can be kind to the one that you love
Ah
When you realize that you can always share your emotions with the person you love and trust them completely, you can approach them with kindness and respect.

I found this song a day after my boyfriend and I had a big fight. There were things I wish I did differently and I wish I was more kind to him. This song inspired me so much that I actually wrote a response version of the song from the other perspective. I hope that maybe he will see it and know that I'm sorry. I wrote this response in 15 mins. The emotion from this song took over and it started to flow and this is what I was left with. Obviously, this is not an original piece by any means, but I hope that Marshmello and Halsey see it and know how their work has inspired people.
Please believe, please believe
That all the bones aren't bad in my body
I put the bruises on your heart that make you go wild
Please believe, Please believe
That even when I'm stone cold I'm sorry
I dont know why I can be so Outta my mind yeah
I start to choke on all my fears
When you tell me that you're right here
Please stay by my side every night
I dont know why I hide from the one and close my eyes to the one, mess up and lie to the one that I love
I just wanna cry to the one, always confide in the one, I wanna be kind to the one that I love
I need to have, I need to have, the upper hand even when we aren't fighting
Cuz my past it makes me prepared every time
Please dont leave, please dont leave
I'm gonna fight and its gonna be for you
I'm built to love, but broken and scared to just try
I start to choke on all my fears
When you tell me that you're right here
Please stay by my side every night
I dont know why I hide from the one and close my eyes to the one, mess up and lie to the one that I love
I just wanna cry to the one, always confide in the one, I wanna be kind to the one that I love
I know it's hard for you and it's not fair
Getting sick in your head and I'm still not there
I know it's hard for you and it's not fair, it's not fair
I dont know why I hide from the one and close my eyes to the one, mess up and lie to the one that I love
I just wanna cry to the one, always confide in the one, I wanna be kind to the one that I love
I just wanna cry to the one, always confide in the one, I wanna be kind to the one that I love
