[Intro: Natalie Craig; Jonny Craig]
How could you leave and watch us face this life alone?
Both our hearts were yours to mold
So open and free, but everything we've lost
How did the words make it worth it?
How did the words make...?
How, how did the words make it worth it?
How, how did the words make it worth it?
How, how did the words make it worth it?
[Verse 1: Jonny Craig]
I know what it's like to hurt when we're alone
I want to tell the one that follows in my footsteps
They aren't the way, so turn back
Set the course to watch them fall
But these cuts are deeper after all
Twenty-seven years, my heart still hurts, it still hurts
[Chorus: Jonny Craig]
How could you leave her? She was perfect
Now all your dreams, they reek of failure
Still the older we get, the more broken we become
Can someone show me how to love? (Show me how to love)
Can someone show me how to love? (Show me how to love)
Watching mistakes, I feel I'll never know love
[Verse 2: Jonny Craig]
How could I be like you?
A model of everything I hate
Yet it day to day, just to let them fall
Just to be something in your eyes
Just to be something in your eyes
Fourth time's the charm, we pray you get it back
[Chorus: Jonny Craig]
How could you leave her? She was perfect
Now all your dreams, they reek of failure
Still the older we get, the more broken we become
Can someone show me how to love? (Show me how to love)
Can someone show me how to love? (Show me how to love)
Watching mistakes, I feel I'll never know love
[Bridge: Natalie Craig; Jonny Craig]
How could you leave and watch us face this life alone?
Both our hearts were yours to mold
So open and free, but everything we've lost
How did the words make it worth it?
How did the words make...?
[Chorus: Jonny Craig]
How could you leave her? She was perfect
Now all your dreams, they reek of failure
Still the older we get, the more broken we become
Can someone show me how to love? (Show me how to love)
Can someone show me how to love? (Show me how to love)
Watching mistakes, I feel I'll never know love
[Outro: Jonny Craig]
Can someone show me how to love? (Show me how to love)
Can someone show me how to love? (Show me how to love)
Can someone show me how to love? (We will never know love)
Can someone show me how to love? (Show me how to love)
Can someone show me how to love? (Show me how to love)
Can someone show me how to love? (We will never know love)
I'll never know love
