Learning To Love Lyrics

Thought I knew something but I was wrong

When I woke up Saturday morning you were gone

They told me to leave you alone

But it didn't make sense until I was grown

I kind of thought it would be easy

Find the one and live life happy

But all these princesses deceive

Guess I turned out more like Eve

Bit the fruit and learned I bleed

How many times do I got to mess up?

I keep screwing it up

Is this learning to love?

Try and I try but I keep getting duds

Am I learning to love?

Tell me is this what it does?

Snagging me tagging me tearing me up

Man how many times do I got to mess up?

Everyone told me that this would be fun

But I'm ready to run

Not playing I'm done

Is this what it does?

I keep screwing it up

But I guess that I'm learning to love

No one told me the process was long

Or that there was one at all

Or how many times I'd get it wrong

Now I'm singing this song

Tried to make sense but there was none at all

This order is tall

Are they asking to much?

Or am I just not enough?

They keep saying it's not you it's me

But obviously that's not true completely

Is it the words I don't speak?

Or the way I perceive?

I may think differently but genuinely

You won't find none like me

I could be your destiny

If you'd spend some time with me

I think that you would see

We could be good together

I am that hidden treasure

The one that keeps forever

Preserved in any weather

But I guess they'll never know

Won't even see the show

Judging books by their covers

You are soon to discover

Any woman can be pretty but who is she really?

Do she got a dirty soul?

If that's what you want than go

I don't want to play these games no more

It's tiring and I'm feeling sore

Jesus help me Lord

I don't even know what I'm doing no more

Be nice to everyone else

But nobody ever taught me how to love myself

Now I'm stuck here and I'm hating myself

While I stand here in the shadows watching everyone else

I'm draining myself

Giving all of me away like I'm a house for sale

And I'm stuck here and I'm hating myself

While I stand here in the shadows watching everyone else
