Intro

Verse 1

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

Refrain 1

 I've walked around broken

emotionally frozen

 Getting on getting on

Chorus 1

 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?

Verse 2

I was always the chosen child

 To be the scandal I became

 They told me I'd never survive

 but survival's my middle name

Refrain 2

 I've walking around hoping

just barely coping

 Getting on getting on

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge

 It's hard to talk

 to see what's deep inside

 It's hard to tell the truth

when you've always lied

Interlude

 and make it less

 How do you love someone?

in the keeps

 do you love someone?

 How do you love how

 do you love someone?
