You're Kind Lyrics

You're kind, you're so kind
You rescued me when I was blind
And you put me on your pillow
When I was on the wall
You're kind, so kind, so kind

And you're good, you're so good
You introduced me to your neighborhood
Seem like I ain't never had so many friends before
That's because you're good, you're so good

Why you don't treat me like the other humans do
Is just a mystery to me
It gets me agitated when I think that
You're gonna love me now indefinitely

So goodbye, goodbye
I'm gonna leave you now
And here's the reason why:

I like to sleep with the window open
And you keep the window closed
So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

I'm wondering whether he left her because she's kind and he doesn't feel he deserves her kindness or that he left because they have nothing in common. Leaving because "I like to sleep with the window open and you keep the window closed" is an excuse.

@fanofoldies No. He leaves he because he gets terrified by the thought of her loving him no matter what. Of her clinging on to him without any kind of reservation, without any apparent motive, without leaving him any options.

It reeks of that opposite of the well-known separation anxiety - the fear of commitment.

But how Paul sketches the situation, it is rather understandable. If someone will keep on loving you out of 'kindness', no matter what you do, say, or want, you are really terribly out of touch with each other.

Then it does not matter how 'kind' she...
