This Kind of Love

This burning love
was only for tonight
it came out of
that hungry light
you never knew
you could ever find
inside of you
something of the kind.

This melting love
is not hard to find
it fits like a glove
but only in your mind
It turns into ash
faster than it seems
It's just like whiplash
or a light that dims.

This kind of love
is not love at all
Nothing you think of
will break your fall
but if you think about it
it's really not that small

It's just the wrong kind
It's not the one you want
that one is hard to find
and it isn't what you got.
This kind of love you had
isn't what you thought.

And this kind of love
still breaks your heart
you're not who I think of
it just breaks me apart
you are the perfect kind
just not perfect for me
you would never be mine
I have to set you free...

And this love you give
isn't meant for me
I am not your captive
Why won't you let me be?
I just want to live
and keep waiting for
the love I want to give...

But that kind of love
will never wait for me
I turn around, it's gone,
It wanted to be free...
I'm left behind alone
drowning in my misery...
