All I learned growing up was that love chewed me up, spit me out on the pavement Next to the cuts and the blood that my mom and dad would Always take out on each other Only thing that I knew that love could lead me to Was protecting my sisters from all the cuts and the blood that my mom and dad would Always take out on each other Sweetheart, you are changing my mind Sweetheart, you are changing my mind Nobody taught me how to love myself So how can I love somebody else? There ain't no excuses, I swear that I'm doing my best Nobody taught me how to love myself So how can I love somebody else? I'm so new to this, I swear that I'm doing my best I won't let you down, I won't let you down Standing there, you look at me, understanding everything, yeah, it's so fascinating You patch up the blood and the coats But our blood got mixed up So I guess we belong to each other Sweetheart, you are changing my mind Sweetheart, you are changing my mind Nobody taught me how to love myself So how can I love somebody else? There ain't no excuses, I swear that I'm doing my best Nobody taught me how to love myself So how can I love somebody else? I'm so new to this, I swear that I'm doing my best They will try to pay for me to erase all the memories, but I can't When the sky's so bright, in a spotless night Someone gets left behind Nobody taught me how to love myself So how can I love somebody else? There ain't no excuses, I swear that I'm doing my best Nobody taught me how to love myself So how can I love somebody else? I'm so new to this, I swear that I'm doing my best I won't let you down I won't let you down I won't let you down I won't let you down
