The Leaving Kind By: Robin Lee Field April 2 2022

There’s a circle and a square
There’s a spade and diamond pair
There’s a hot and cold mass moving through the air
One repels and one attracts
It’s a force of nature fact
I’m in an adversarial kind of affair

There’s a map with every sign
You know I dotted every line
And we spoke about the path to gettin there
Somehow it all got lost
No one recalls we ever talked
And I have to draw another blueprint to mark where

And I can’t do it anymore, like I did it years before
When it falls on the floor one more time
I must confess a weakness of mine
I’ve never been the leaving kind

I’ve got heaviness in my chest
I’ve got shortness in my breath
And I’ve got rage when every quest comes undone
A conflict every time
A rebuttal is it an undermine
Someone always wants to block out my sun

You can’t force what doesn’t fit
It just breaks you must admit
And I’m too damn tired to explain it one more time
Oh can’t you see my brain is showing strain
I’m in a place that only drains
An impossible, intolerable double bind

And I can’t do it anymore, like I did it years before
When it falls to pieces on your floor one more time
And I must confess this weakness of mine
I’ve never been the leaving kind

So I withdraw and wish you well
It’s my time to say farewell
And remove myself from this state of distress
I’m gonna rest my mind and soul
I’ll gonna be the first to turn and go
Even though I don’t know what lies ahead

Cause I can’t do it anymore, like I did it years before
When it falls to pieces on your floor one more time
Oh I must confess a new strength of mine
I've become the leaving kind

And I must confess a new strength of mine
I've become the leaving kind
