The Loving Kind

I’ll stay with you

But that’s as much as I will do

Please don’t think I’m cruel

I’ve been through this too many times to bullshit you

Yes, I feel the pull

But a major part of me is unavailable

What I had I gave

Resist the need to save me. I will not be saved

I must agree with you the thought is fine:

To knot and braid your fraying ends to mine

But I’m not the loving kind

I don’t suggest we try

It’s best to let a dead thing lie

Hate me if you must

But trust me when I say this love will never live

Now it only halfway scares me to the bone

I wrote myself a code by which to live

Because I’m not the loving kind

It’s a fatal flaw

I’ve seen it every time before

It can’t be fixed with time

I’d love you if I was the loving kind

It’s a fatal flaw

I’ve seen it every time before

You’re young enough, there’s time

I’ll never, ever, ever be the loving kind
