You Don't Know How To Love
Unlocking Hearts: Hannah Jane Kile's Revelatory Take on Love
Lyrics
You're gonna hate me for saying this
You'll likely dislike what I'm about to say
You're gonna tell them I'm heartless
You might portray me as lacking compassion
They'll blindly nod the way they do
Others will unquestionably agree without considering deeply
But deep down they'll know it's true
Despite outward agreement, they'll sense a truth
When I say
When I express
You don't know how to love
You lack the understanding of how to love
If your life depended on it
Even if your survival depended on it
You don't know how to be loved
You don't comprehend how to receive love
It's a touchy subject
This topic is sensitive
You don't know how to love
You're incapable of loving
Without inflicting damage
Without causing harm
You don't know how to be loved
You don't understand how to accept love
How is it that you manage
How do you navigate this?
The only way for me to break the cycle is get out
I have to leave to break this pattern
I know you wish I'd shut my mouth
You wish I'd stop speaking up
You're at your worst when things aren't about you
Your behavior worsens when attention isn't on you
If it makes you feel strong to cut me down
If belittling me makes you feel powerful
Stand tall and proud but it's no use
You maintain pride, but it's futile
Because behind all that
Behind your facade
You don't know how to love
You lack the ability to love
If your life depended on it
Even in a life-or-death scenario
You don't know how to be loved
You don't know how to accept affection
It's a touchy subject
This remains a sensitive issue for you
You don't know how to love
You're unable to love
Without inflicting damage
Without causing harm or pain
You don't know how to be loved
You don't know how to receive love
How is it that you manage
How do you cope with this?
The only way for me to break the cycle is get out
I must leave my familiar surroundings to break this pattern
Of this space I have known
I need to find a new place for myself
And build up a place of my own
I wish you well-being and joy
I wish you health and happiness
And that you avoid solitude
And that you don't end up alone
But I'm not optimistic
But I don't have high hopes
Because
Because
You lack the understanding of how to love
You don't know how to love
You lack the understanding of how to be loved
You don't know how to be loved
You lack the understanding of how to love
You don't know how to love
Even if your survival depended on it
If your life depended on it
You don't comprehend how to receive love
You don't know how to be loved
This topic is sensitive for you
It's a touchy subject
You're incapable of loving
You don't know how to love
Without causing harm or pain
