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
Can't get on, getting it wrong [Chorus]
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 walking around hoping,
Just barely coping
Getting on, getting it wrong [Chorus] It's hard to talk,
To see what's deep inside
It's hard to tell the truth,
When you've always lied [Chorus] 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
