about

Have you ever went down a path with someone that felt so promising and then hit the point where you realize you can't change yourself to be what they want? This is your song!

lyrics

Pulled me close, let me in
Told me stories, shared some things
Made me feel, safe at home
Held my hand, through the halls,
Of our dreams, and our fears, and the hurdles we have seen
We locked eyes, we described, all the things we want in life
But I didn’t know, what I didn’t know


I don’t know how to love you, the way you want me to
I just can’t seem to give you, more than hope and truth
Do you understand, what this love could do
If you can’t be patient, you better cut me loose
I don’t know how to love you, the way you want me to
I don’t know how
I don’t know how

Told you something, I never told
You accepting, gave me some hope
I could be, who I am
I could live out, my inner man
He’s been hiding, never finding, safety for what lived inside him
Thought I had it, you turned savage, ripped my home up, sabotaged it
But I couldn’t do,
What I couldn’t do

I don’t know how to love you, the way you want me to
I just can’t seem to give you, more than hope and truth
Do you understand, what this love could do
If you can’t be patient, you better cut me loose
I don’t know how to love you, the way you want me to
I don’t know how
I don’t know how

You blew up the lid, to vaults of my sin
Held me to see, I had the key
I start to believe, my heart can be free
Then you left me, broken

I don’t know how to love you, the way you want me to
I just can’t seem to give you, more than hope and truth
Do you understand, what this love could do
If you can’t be patient, you better cut me loose
I don’t know how to love you, the way you want me to
I don’t know how
I don’t know how
