I've walked around 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 around hoping Just barely coping Getting it on Getting it wrong
