WHAT KIND OF LOVE IS THAT

all my friends are skipping town 
while I’m stuck in the here and now 
losing all the right words to say 
holding on to hopelessness 
still hoping that that hold might stick 
what’s a little wool to keep my eyes closed 

what kind of love is that 
display to you your weakness 
what kind of love is that 
to make you weep 
what kind of love is that 
it opens up then closes 
holding up your brokenness intact 
see that love won’t last 

dancing in this rented room 
okay I forgot my dancing shoes 
but what is it to you if I can’t 
the birds they sing inside my head 
but I cannot put their tune to pen 
I’m making noise, I must be making something 

what kind of love is that 
display to you your weakness 
what kind of love is that 
to make you weep 
what kind of love is that 
it opens up then closes 
holding up your brokenness intact 
see that love won’t last
