Teach Me How To Be Loved

.

One foot onto the ice

I hold my breath

And try to believe

Can I look at you with different eyes?

Like the girl that I was, when I was 17

.

The fallen empires,

The shattered glass

The wicked echos of my past.

I've seen it all before, that's why I'm asking.

.

Will you still be here tomorrow

Or will you leave in the dead of the night?

So your waves don't crash around me,

I'm staying one step ahead of the tide.

Will you leave me lost in my shadows

Or will you pull me into your light?

Teach me how to be loved

Teach me how to be loved

.

I got caught up in a daze

Of the wine and roses

Such a sweet escape

But I watched it all slip away

Like running water from my hands

Raining on this picture land

.

The fallen empires,

The shattered glass

The wicked echos of my past.

I've seen it all before, that's why I'm asking.

.

Will you still be here tomorrow

Or will you leave in the dead of the night?

So your waves don't crash around me,

I'm staying one step ahead of the tide.

Will you leave me lost in my shadows

Or will you pull me into your light?

Teach me how to be loved

.

Can I give myself just one more second chance?

And put my trust in love,

Please don't hurt me.

If I make myself like a feather in you hand

And put my trust in love,

Please don't hurt me.

.

Will you still be here tomorrow

Or will you leave in the dead of the night?

So your waves don't crash around me,

I'm staying one step ahead of the tide.

Will you leave me lost in my shadows

Or will you pull me into your light?

Teach me how to be loved

Teach me how to be loved
