Hmmmmm,
He doesn't understand, her loneliness
Tried hard as a lover can, she can't go on like this
She accepts the love she thinks that she deserves
But always gives too much
That's just the way that she has learned to love
You see,
Growin up she had to fight for love she felt all alone
And when she acted out well her mother kicked her out of home
Turned to boys and drugs to make her feel heard
But it never worked
That's just the way that she has learned to love
Hmm learned to love
He doesn't understand his own temperament
Laid down by his fathers hand, family sentiment
Woman he loves in pain from fits of rage most everyday
It's not ok, he knows there must be better ways to learn to love
Learn to love
You see
Growin up he had to fight for love he was all alone
Had it rough at school but not as rough as what he had at home
He couldn't understand why everyone would leave
His heart would bleed and through his needs he learned to love
How did he how did he learn to love
How did he learn to love
Hmmmm
Some are born into lives
With days full of smiles
And houses are homes
Where lessons are learned
And boundaries respected
And then set in stone
Access to good education
And those who are patient are guiding the way
They have food on the table
And told they are loved at the end of the day
Others come out from their mothers
And into a life where they're fighting through tears
People supposed to protect them
Subject them to trauma they'll battle for years
Never been given the time
The system dismissed them and turned them away
Day into night is a struggle to even face another day
How do they how do they learn to love
How do they learn to love
How do we how do we learn to love
Love
Hmm mmmm mmmm mmm
Hmm mmmm mmmm mmm
Hmm mmmm mmmm mmm
