Lyrics
I need a different kind of love
I desire a love that is different from the current experience
Hurts to be loved like this
Experiencing pain due to the way I am being loved
I need a different kind of love
Reiteration of the desire for an unconventional love
Hurts to be loved like this
Reiterating the discomfort caused by the current form of love
I can't tear down what I've built
Unwillingness to dismantle what has been constructed or established
Not seeking a reprieve
Not actively searching for forgiveness or relief
And it won't it be earned
Recognition that forgiveness or solace won't be easily obtained
If solace finds me here
Even if comfort arrives, it may not come to me in this place or state
As I'm bruising my knees
Expressing pain and vulnerability, pleading for mercy
Whispering please, please
Continuing to plead for mercy or a change in circumstances
I need a different kind of love
Reiteration of the longing for a different form of love
I need a different kind of love
Emphasizing the strong desire for a unique type of love
I need a different, kinder love
Specifically desiring a more compassionate and gentle form of love
(Hurts to be loved like this)
Reaffirmation of the pain felt due to the current love situation
A different kind of love
Seeking an alternative, distinct form of love
'Cause it hurts to be loved like this
Stating the pain of being loved in the present manner
Hurts you when I love like this
Recognizing the hurt caused by the way the speaker loves someone else
I need a different kind of love
Expressing the longing for a different type of love
I need a different kind of love
Reiterating the desire for a distinctive form of love
I need a different, kinder love
Emphasizing the longing for a more compassionate and gentle love
A different kind of love
Highlighting the need for an unconventional form of love
'Cause it hurts to be loved like this
Reiterating the pain felt due to the current form of love
What violent words
Reflecting on the impact of harsh or hurtful language spoken
From this silent tongue
Questioning the contrast between silent speech and its violent nature
What loudly righteous prayers
Noting the contradiction between loud, righteous prayers and the speaker's cowardice
From this coward's lungs
Acknowledging the hypocritical nature of powerful prayers from a fearful person
And I've been blind
Admitting to not seeing or understanding the pain caused previously
And I've been wrong
Recognizing personal errors and faults that have hurt someone else
Hurt you all along
Acknowledging the consistent infliction of pain onto another person
