How Do You Love Someone

Mommy never told me how to love

Daddy never told me how to feel

Mommy never told me how to touch

Daddy never showed me how to heal

Mommy never set a good example

Daddy never held Mommy's hands

Mommy found everything hard to handle

Daddy never stood up like a man

I've walked around broken emotionally frozen

Hanging on get 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

The 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

Hanging on get 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

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 someone and make it last

How do you love someone without tripping on the past

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
