How Do You Love Someone

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 momma's 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...
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 walked alone,
Hoping
Just barely coping
Getting it on...
Getting it wrong...
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?
It's hard to talk,
To see what's deep inside
It's hard to tell the truth,
When you've always lied...
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, (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...?
