Teach Me How To Love

slow r&b song with deep base, electric guitar and strings, female vocals

She been hiding from her reflection, turning mirrors to the wall
She don’t see the woman he sees, she don’t feel worthy at all
And she’s praying for direction, somewhere safe for her to land
But she’s drowning in the silence, reaching out for someone’s hand

[Pre-Chorus]
He’s right there, trying to pull her close
But she’s scared, thinking love might let her go
Oh, she wants him—but she don’t know
How to open up her soul

[Chorus]
She says, “I got nowhere to go, nowhere to run
I don’t know how to love you the way you deserve to be loved
My heart’s been through the storm, baby, I’m undone
But if you stay, maybe you could teach me how to trust…”
Teach me how to love
Teach me how to love
'Cause I don’t know how to love you the right way

[Verse 2]
He holds her like a promise that he never plans to break
Keeps reminding her she’s something more than all her past mistakes
But she flinches when he loves her, used to pain more than peace
Every soft word feels like thunder—she don’t know what to believe

She’s been carrying her losses like they’re stitched into her skin
Every goodbye built a fortress, she won’t let nobody in
But he’s knocking on the edges, saying “Let me meet your ghosts.”
And she’s trembling at the doorway, scared to let him get so close

[Pre-Chorus]
He’s right there, offering her his light
But she’s scared he’ll disappear one night
Oh, she loves him—but she’s still trying
To forgive her own life

[Bridge]
If I give you all this broken, will you hold it like it’s whole?
If I let you see the pieces, will you stitch them into gold?
I’m learning how to breathe again, learning how to feel again
Baby, if you’re patient, I’ll learn how to heal again

[Final Chorus]
“I got nowhere to go, nowhere to run
But maybe your heart’s the place I’ve been searching for all along
I’m trying, I’m trying, I swear I’m not done
If you stay, maybe you can teach me how to love…”
Teach me how to love
Teach me how to love
Maybe you could teach me how to love the right way

Verse 1] She’s walking through the shadows of a home that ain’t a home Empty frames and quiet rooms, everywhere she feels alone Lost her brother to the night, and the days don’t feel the same Every heartbeat feels like breaking, every whisper says his name She been hiding from her reflection, turning mirrors to the wall She don’t see the woman he sees, she don’t feel worthy at all And she’s praying for direction, somewhere safe for her to land But she’s drowning in the silence, reaching out for someone’s hand [Pre-Chorus] He’s right there, trying to pull her close But she’s scared, thinking love might let her go Oh, she wants him—but she don’t know How to open up her soul [Chorus] She says, “I got nowhere to go, nowhere to run I don’t know how to love you the way you deserve to be loved My heart’s been through the storm, baby, I’m undone But if you stay, maybe you could teach me how to trust…” Teach me how to love Teach me how to love 'Cause I don’t know how to love you the right way [Verse 2] He holds her like a promise that he never plans to break Keeps reminding her she’s something more than all her past mistakes But she flinches when he loves her, used to pain more than peace Every soft word feels like thunder—she don’t know what to believe She’s been carrying her losses like they’re stitched into her skin Every goodbye built a fortress, she won’t let nobody in But he’s knocking on the edges, saying “Let me meet your ghosts.” And she’s trembling at the doorway, scared to let him get so close [Pre-Chorus] He’s right there, offering her his light But she’s scared he’ll disappear one night Oh, she loves him—but she’s still trying To forgive her own life [Chorus] She says, “I got nowhere to go, nowhere to run I don’t know how to love you the way you deserve to be loved My heart’s been through the storm, baby, I’m undone But if you stay, maybe you could teach me how to trust…” Teach me how to love Teach me how to love 'Cause I don’t know how to love you the right way [Bridge] If I give you all this broken, will you hold it like it’s whole?
