Another Kind of Woman

Why won't you run, when the smoke builds up and fills
Your lungs 'till you can't speak?
Why won't you cry, when the shadows of your secrets creep
Back up from where you sleep?
Why don't you bleed, like others bleed when cut so deep
But you don't shed a tear?

I am fearful of this whole damn notion
God bless her strength and her devotion - oh
Maybe she is empty inside, maybe she just looks to fight
Maybe she is another kind of woman

Why won't you reach, for me when you've fallen deep
And darkness fills your mind?
Why don't you speak, to those who build you up
And give you what you need?
Why do you sleep, in times when the water's high
And reaches to your cheeks?

I am fearful of this whole damn notion
God bless her strength and her devotion - oh
Maybe she is empty inside, maybe she just looks to fight
Maybe she is another kind of woman
Maybe she is another kind of woman

She will roll away in time I'm told
Forever unrestricted her beliefs
She may never be the same again
After all this contemplation
She may need to breathe

So why don't you breathe, in me, so we can share this breath
And waste away our days?
Why don't we leave, to go and meet the water's edge
And build just what we need?
Why don't we hold, each other till the days turn black
The sun sets one last time?

I am fearful of this whole damn notion
God bless her strength and her devotion - oh
Maybe she is empty inside, or maybe she just looks to fight
Maybe she is another kind of woman
Maybe she is another kind of woman
Maybe she is another kind of woman
