The story
She stops explaining and starts walking away.
He walks out while she cries, smiles at someone across the room, and leaves her with promises folded like paper and burned with a taper. She waits for tomorrow that never comes, then sees the truth: the problem was never her enough, only his rough hands on a heart that gave him grace. She answers him by leaving first.
Lyrics
Verse 1
What kinda man walks out on a woman cryin' What kinda man keeps livin' like he ain't lyin' You said forever like it was a word you rented Gave it back the moment that you got contented I watched you smile at someone else across the room Like I was just a chapter you'd be gettin' to
Pre-Chorus
I ain't bitter, I'm just askin' for the truth What kind of man does what you put me through
Chorus
What kinda man makes promises like paper Folds 'em up and lights 'em with a taper What kinda man says I love you then goes quiet Leaves a heart in pieces, doesn't even try it What kinda man holds you close then holds the door What kinda man gives you everything then wants more I hope you figure out the answer to my question Cause I'm done tryin' to teach a man a lesson
Verse 2
What kinda man reads your diary and laughs Takes the best years of your life and calls 'em past You wore my trust like somethin' you could borrow And I waited up for calls you'd make tomorrow But tomorrow never came, did it, did it now Just a string of empty maybes and a broken vow
Chorus
What kinda man makes promises like paper Folds 'em up and lights 'em with a taper What kinda man says I love you then goes quiet Leaves a heart in pieces, doesn't even try it What kinda man holds you close then holds the door What kinda man gives you everything then wants more I hope you figure out the answer to my question Cause I'm done tryin' to teach a man a lesson
Verse 3
I'll tell you what kind of woman walks away The kind who finally learned she's worth the stay The kind who loved you more than you loved anyone The kind who's done, the kind who won
Bridge
I used to think the answer was me, that I wasn't enough But the answer's simple, darlin', you were just too rough On a heart that gave you gentle, on a soul that gave you grace What kinda man? Not the kind I need in my space
The sound
Fierce mid-tempo country-pop, 110 BPM, confident acoustic guitar strumming, bold electric guitar accents, driving bass, powerful drums with attitude, sharp fiddle stabs. Strong female energy with a no-nonsense groove. Think empowerment anthem with a country backbone and a little bit of edge.
