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.
