Lyrics

I grew up thinking love had a price
Mama kept peace by swallowing pride
Dad wore silence like a second skin
No one said where the hurt had been
So I learned not to need too much
And never put my weight on love
Now she gives me what they never could
And I don't know how to trust the good
I don't know how to be loved
Without bracing for the pain
She says, “I'm not going anywhere”
I hear, “Just not today”
Every kiss becomes a countdown
Every touch feels like goodbye
I don't know how to be loved
Without waiting for love to die
She holds me close, I stiffen inside
She tells me the truth, I hunt for the lie
She gives me space, I hear her leave
She gives me love, I can't believe
She has done nothing to make me run
Still I prepare for the day she's gone
Maybe love was never meant to burn
Maybe pain was just the love I learned
I don't know how to be loved
Without bracing for the pain
She says, “I'm not going anywhere”
I hear, “Just not today”
Every kiss becomes a countdown
Every touch feels like goodbye
I don't know how to be loved
Without waiting for love to die
Mama loved the best she knew
Dad was fighting old wounds too
But what they never learned to give
Still tells my heart that love won't live
I still don't know how to be loved
Without bracing for the pain
She says, “I'm not going anywhere”
This time I don't turn away
Maybe kisses aren't a countdown
Maybe touch ain't always goodbye
I'm learning how to be loved
Without waiting for love to die
