Lyrics Teach Me How - Shius

(All I wanted was to love my life)
(And I don't love my life but I try, I try, and I try)
(All I wanted was to love myself)
(And I don't love myself but I try, I try, and I try)

It's the little things, little things that help me trust
There's a feeling I can't explain - they call it love
I know I opened up first, yeah I probably overshared
But the trust that you gave me showed me that you cared
And I've wanted to trust someone, ever since that day
Although I cannot forget, as I watch you walk away
All the words that you gave me, all the secrets that we shared
I will cherish them forever even if you're not there
So teach me how to love, teach me how to trust
Teach me how to live, teach me how to feel, because I am
Still afraid to love, still afraid to trust
And I cannot live inside a body I can't feel

Denial is the longest stage of grief
I am living in a world on my own two feet
I need to, teach myself how to trust, teach myself how to love
Teach myself cause I'm the only one responsible for me
And if there comes a day where I can finally trust
Where I can love myself, when I do love my life
I will stand tall and wave goodbye to it all
I'm the hopeful one was what they always said to me

I will learn to love myself, I will stand up on my own
In the end this is my life and it's the life I know
I have chosen this path, and I will walk it 'til I die
I won't deviate, I thought I'd never say goodbye
Melancholic to the past I review memories as
Lenses tainted in stained glass reflect and refract
Perfect imagery, standards I could never reach
But I need to put it down before that's all I could see
So teach me how to love, teach me how to trust
Teach me how to live, teach me how to feel, because I am
Still afraid to love, still afraid to trust
And I cannot live inside a body I can't feel

Denial is the longest stage of grief
I am living in a world on my own two feet
I need to, teach myself how to trust, teach myself how to love
Teach myself cause I'm the only one responsible for me
And if there comes a day where I can finally trust
Where I can love myself, when I do love my life
I will stand tall and wave goodbye to it all
I'm the hopeful one was what they always said to me

Teach me how to love, teach me how to trust, teach me how to
Teach me how to live, teach me how to feel, because I am
Still afraid to love, still afraid to trust
And I cannot live inside a body I can't feel, I can't feel

All I wanted was to love my life
And I don't love my life but I try, I try, and I try
All I wanted was to love myself
And I don't love myself but I try, I try, and I try

Denial is the longest stage of grief
I am living in a world on my own two feet
I need to, teach myself how to trust, teach myself how to love
Teach myself cause I'm the only one responsible for me

Denial is the longest stage of grief
I am living in a world on my own two feet
I need to, teach myself how to trust, teach myself how to love
Teach myself cause I'm the only one responsible for me
And if there comes a day where I can finally trust
Where I can love myself, when I do love my life
I will stand tall and wave goodbye to it all
I'm the hopeful one was what they always said to me
