Momma never taught me how to love,
Daddy never taught me how to feel,
Momma never taught me how to touch,
Daddy never showed me how to heal.
Momma never set a good example,
Daddy never held momma's hand,
Momma found everything hard to handle,
Daddy never stood up like a man.
I've walked around broken,
Emotionally frozen,
Gettin' it on,
Gettin' 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 alone,
Hoping,
Just barely coping,
Gettin' it on,
Gettin' 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
