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 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 a chosen child
The biggest scandal I became
They told me I'd never survive
But survive was my middle name
I've walked alone, 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 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, and make it last
How do you love someone, without shrinking 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
