Mama never told me how to love
Daddy never told me how to feel
Mama never told me how to touch
Daddy never showed me how to heal
Mama never set a good example
Daddy never held mama's hands
Mama found everything hard to handle
I've walked around broken Emotionally frozen Getting it on, getting it wrong
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 walked around hoping Just barely coping Getting it on, getting it wrong
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 sunHow 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 sunHow do you love, how do you love someone?
How do you love someone and make it last? How do you love someone without tripping on the past? So far in my life, clouds have blocked the sunHow do you love, how do you love someone?
