[Verse 1]
Tell me
How do I love you
When I can’t even stand
In my own skin
I’m changing my mind
Every hour, every minute
You’re holding out your hands
And I’m scared to let you in
[Chorus]
How do I love you
When I don’t even know who I am
I’m a stranger in the mirror
Trying hard to understand
If I can’t trust my heartbeat
If I keep running from myself
How do I love me
Enough to love you
[Verse 2]
You say
“I’ll be right here”
But I keep stepping back
From the light in your eyes
I’m good at pretending
Yeah, I smile then I hide
You deserve someone real
I’m just learning how to try
[Chorus]
How do I love you
When I don’t even know who I am
I’m a stranger in the mirror
Trying hard to understand
If I can’t trust my heartbeat
If I keep running from myself
How do I love me
Enough to love you
[Bridge]
Maybe love starts
Where the wounds still ache
Maybe I hold your hand
While my own hands shake (oh)
If I let you see
Every broken piece
Could you stay right there
While I learn to breathe
[Chorus]
How do I love you
While I’m still finding who I am
I’m a stranger in the mirror
Will you stand right next to me
I’ll learn to trust my heartbeat
Stop running from myself
I’m learning to love me
So I can love you
So I can love you
