Purple Ferdinand - Wasn't Taught To Love lyrics

[Verse 1: Purple Ferdinand] Wasn't taught to love Wasn't taught to feel Now I'm thinking of How I'm supposed to deal Wanting tend to more than need Conflict of the heart and mind proceed Distorted visions through love, no reality I believe in no such thing as sanity I don't know, maybe that's the way it's supposed to go [Chorus] In my heart is where I hold the thoughts I cannot say In my mind is where all of my emotions stay Thinking, feeling 'What is this, what did I miss?' When did this start? Piece together these parts My mind and my heart (x2) [Verse 2: Purple Ferdinand] Like colorful whispers painting my mind, With secrets like a full heart of pictures Dulled down by a blunted scream Telling me I'm wrong about these dreams For a minute I'm strong, never stays too long Felt my mind to the top and then I'm gone, I'm gone I don't know, sometimes I just wish I had control [Chorus] [Bridge] Fear is in the mind I don't want to think anymore Trapped in a cage of uncertainty, ready to let it be Beyond the fear, that's when I hear Love is always near, love is always near [Chorus]
