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
