Flyleaf – The Kind Lyrics

Rock

It's like being in love
You rob your own mind and defile your bed
You ignore the fate of the players who both end up dead
And you pretend for us and you pretend for them
This fairytale will make them jealous of you

But it's not the kind, the kind that you talked about
And it's just the kind that rips the clothing off your mind

She is feeding you and you lie with her
And for the first time your right arm becomes useful
As you sin with it, you wanna cut it off
But instead you thank God for all of the wrong you do

But it's not the kind, the kind that you talked about
And it's just the kind that rips the clothing off your mind
And she is feeding you and you lie with her
And for the first time your right arm becomes useful
As you sin with it, you wanna cut it off
But instead you thank God for all of the wrong you do

(Yeah well then you thought wrong)
('Cause you can't serve God and money)
(You can serve one or the other)

You cut the cord today with God's hand to hold yours steady
He waits for you to apply the pressure
The warmth of his breath wrapped in his words
As he repeats his truth, after truth, after truth, after truth
After truth, after truth, after truth, after truth, after-

But it's just the kind, the kind you talked about
And it's just the kind that clothes your mind with Christ
He is feeding you and you know the truth
And I pray this is the last song I will sing to you
And it's just the kind, the kind you talked about
And it's just the kind that clothes your mind with Christ

He is feeding you and you know the truth
And I pray this is the last song I will sing to you
I'm sorry Father, I'm sorry sister
I'm sorry brother, I'm sorry everybody

I'm sorry Father, I'm sorry sister
I'm sorry brother, I'm sorry everybody

    I love this song! It can so relate to so many testimonies out there! God is amazing! And Flyleaf just reminds us that He is great everytime one of their songs plays in the world. GOD BLESS THEM!

    Impurity...great topic. It's something we can all relate to, wether we want to or have. It reminds us that we can be forgiven..best line though, "and for the first time your right arm becomes useful." It made me chuckle.
