The Love That I Was Taught

[Chorus]
Never gonna let you drown
Never gonna hold you down
I will never show you love except the one that I was taught
Never gonna break your trust
But it’s never gonna be enough
’Cause I will never show you love except the one that I was taught

[Verse]
I’ll never say
No, I’ll never say the words if I don’t feel the same
I’m pushing you away so why you wanna stay
Maybe I’m better alone
And I’ll never play
No, I’ll never play this game if we don’t win the same
I feel like all we do is go around in vain
Maybe you’re better alone
Trust me when I say that I want it to be different
This version of me made you feel a little distant
From the start you’re my priority
I can barely breathe if I don’t know that you’re alright
Even if I can’t make you feel like you’re my spotlight
Half the things I do are all for you

[Chorus]
Never gonna let you drown
Never gonna hold you down
I will never show you love except the one that I was taught
Never gonna break your trust
But it’s never gonna be enough
’Cause I will never show you love except the one that I was taught

[Bridge]
It’s alright if you feel like I’ve been misleading you
And it’s alright if you don’t want this no more
And I won’t fight ’cause I feel like this is all that I could give you, oh
I showed you love, the love that I was taught

[Chorus]
Never gonna let you drown
Never gonna hold you down
I will never show you love except the one that I was taught
Never gonna break your trust
But it’s never gonna be enough
’Cause I will never show you love except the one that I was taught

[Outro]
The one that I was taught
The one that I was taught (oh)
The one that I was taught
