All my life I saw things like love
Love...
And everyone else's was lasting
But the one so prominent in my life
Was crumbling
Your love for her
Your love for us
Your love for me
So all I ever learned,
Was that in my life
A man could only love himself
But oh how wrong you taught me
You didn't love yourself at all
You loved her
You loved us
You loved me
You just loved something else a lot more
It took you away
It took you away and made you forget what you had done.
I remember going to everyone else's house
And they always questioned why
We never came to mine
I didn't know how to answer
Just that I didn't want to be there
I loved you
But my friends never did
I was watching love crumble
So all I ever knew
Was that a man could only love himself
He might say he loves me
But sooner or later it will crumble.
But you taught me all wrong
You could never love yourself
Still I thought
A man could never love me
Because I thought that was the message
You were trying to get across
To all of us
Worthless women.
Whatever age you are in second grade
You shouldn't be crying in bed
Because daddy doesn't love you
He does
He just loves his get away a lot more.
Second grade or high school
You should never have to cry
Because daddy doesn't love you
He does
He just doesn't love himself
But forever I wondered
How other men
Loved
Because you taught me wrong and you weren't the only one.
But here he is
The one to prove to me
That men know how to love
Here he is
And, daddy,
If you think
You can tell him not to hurt me
Check yourself
Look what you made me believe
And I know they don't understand
But I'm trying to get over you
And this is the only way I can
Look what you did
Yet here he stands
He is here to protect me,
To pick me back up
He is here to prove to me
What I really deserve
My heart is still broken over you
And I don't think that's going to change
But I am learning to live with it
Or at least I'm trying to.
