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 seventeen

The fallen empires, the shattered glass

The wicked echoes of my past

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

Will you still be here tomorrow

Or will you leave in the dead of night?

So your waves don't crash around me

I'm stayin' 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 runnin' water from my hands

Rainin' on this picture land

The fallen empires, the shattered glass

The wicked echoes of my past

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

Will you still be here tomorrow

Or will you leave in the dead of night?

So your waves don't crash around me

I'm stayin' 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 your 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 night?

So your waves don't crash around me

I'm stayin' 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
