How Do You Love Someone

1. Momma never told me how to love
Daddy never told me how to feel
Momma never told me how to touch
Daddy never showed me how to heal.

Momma never set a good example
Daddy never held mommas hand
Momma found everything hard to handle
Daddy never stood up like a man.

I've walked alone, broken, emotionally frozen
Getting it 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.

2. 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.

[Bridge:]
It's hard to talk
See whats deep inside
It's hard to tell the truth
When youve always lied.

[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 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.
