That kind of love

Verse 1:

You left your mark in shades of blue and black

Words cut deeper than the door I slammed on my way back

Now you’re on my porch with roses in your hand

Saying you’ll be different, you’re a changed man

Chorus:

But I don’t want that kind of love

The kind that tears me down then builds me up

I don’t need your promises and tears

I’ve been walking tall these last few months

So take your second chances, I’ve had enough

No, I don’t want that kind of love

Verse 2:

You say you’ve been to therapy, you’ve seen the light

That you lie awake and miss me every night

But I’ve learned to sleep with my doors unlocked

And nobody’s gonna turn back this clock

Chorus:

‘Cause I don’t want that kind of love

The kind that tears me down then builds me up

I don’t need your promises and tears

I’ve been walking tall these last few months

So take your second chances, I’ve had enough

No, I don’t want that kind of love

Bridge:

I used to think that love was supposed to hurt

That I deserved the pain beneath your words

But I found out I’m stronger than I knew

And the only thing I needed to lose was you

Final Chorus:

No, I don’t want that kind of love

The kind that breaks you down before it lifts you up

I found someone better, and it’s true—

She’s the girl I see when I look in the mirror at who

I was always meant to become

No, I don’t want that kind of love
