Mama never taught me how to love
Daddy never taught me how to feel
Mama never taught me how to touch

Daddy never showed me how to heal

Mama never set a good example

Daddy never held mama's hand
Mama found everything hard to handle
Daddy never stood up like a man


I've walked around broken
Emotionally frozen

Getting on, getting on

How do you love someone

Without getting hurt
How do you love someone
Without crawling in the dirt

So far in my life
Clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone

How do you love, how do you love someone

I was always the chosen child

Their biggest scandal I became
They told me I'd never survive
But survival's my middle name


I've walking around hoping
Just barely coping

Getting on, getting on

How do you love someone

Without getting hurt
How do you love someone
Without crawling in the dirt

So far in my life
Clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone

How do you love, how do you love someone

It's hard to talk

To say what's deep inside
It's hard to tell the truth
When you've always lied


How do you love someone
Without getting hurt

How do you love someone
Without crawling in the dirt
So far in my life

Clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone
How do you love, how do you love someone


How do you love someone
Without getting hurt

How do you love someone
Without crawling in the dirt
So far in my life

Clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone
How do you love, how do you love someone


Someone
