The Kind of Love I Want to Know
Discovering Unconditional Love Through Shared Imperfections
Lyrics
Forget he loves me, not trying to hurt me
Disregard the fact that he doesn't love me, avoiding causing me pain
When he tells me something I don't want to know
When he shares unwanted information
That in his fingers, he holds a mirror
He possesses a way to reflect aspects of myself
That shows me things I don't want to be shown
Revealing things I prefer to keep hidden
He's not my mother, nor my father
He doesn't fulfill the roles of my parents
Can't give me what I needed long ago
Unable to provide what I lacked in the past
But he can see me and all I could be
However, he perceives my potential and possibilities
Now that's the kind of love I want to know
This type of love is the one I desire to experience
We can't heal each other's loneliness
We cannot alleviate each other's feelings of isolation
We can just stand side by side
But can merely be present together
As I help you to live the life you must
I assist you in living your necessary life
And you help me to live mine
While you aid me in living mine
My heart was broken and wouldn't open
My heart was previously shattered and resistant to love
And let me feel how letting love in feels
Preventing the experience of allowing love into my life
So, I learned to fake it and I learned to wake it
Consequently, I pretended and adapted to love
And learned to see how loving it can heal
Recognizing how love has the potential to heal
You know my dark sides, and won't let me hide
You are aware of my flaws and don't permit me to hide
From all the places, you know I could go
Knowing the paths I could take, you don't let me escape
You remain faithful, for that I'm grateful
Your steadfastness is appreciated
That's the kind of love I want to know
This form of love is the one I seek
We can't heal each other's loneliness
We can't dispel each other's loneliness
We can just stand side by side
But can merely exist together
As I help you to live the life you must
I support you in your life's journey
And you help me to live mine
And you support me in mine
