I never knew what love meant
I never knew I could be loved
I learnt to survive by myself
I never learnt to live and love
When they told me they loved me
I expected endless love
But they gave me breadcrumbs
And I didn't know if I was asking for a lot
So I gave in and gave up
I wanted a fairy tale romance
But they say I'm asking for a lot
So I broke down my castles
And told myself to sit down
I cried endless tears
But I filled my mornings with fake smiles
You will never know how much
I cried or what I have made of life
I am a mess, a mess I am tired of cleaning
Maybe its easier to sit down
And let the tornado of life consume me
Maybe I am asking for a lot
Because I was told I deserve nothing
So I keep dreaming of a love
That will show me I mean something
I never knew what love meant
But I thought they loved me
Until I realised the promises they made
Were written in the sand by the strongest sea
So I quietened down And mastered the art of silence
You will never know I'm bleeding
Because the wounds are not of importance
I never knew what love meant
I was never shown I'm loved
I'll carry on surviving life
Never knowing if I am worth being loved
