How do you love someone with trust issues?
How do you love someone and make them miss you?
How does a lover feel when all they know is?
How to hide away when things get real?
How do I love somebody like?

I never really told you
What I really went through
When you didn't show up at my birthday
My mother couldn't wait to meet you
She found me crying with wine stains on my dress
But I never had the nerve to tell you that

When I come close you pull back
When it gets rough you light a match
To burn down the strings attached

How do you love someone with trust issues?
How do you love someone and make them miss you?
How does a lover feel when all they know is?
How to hide away when things get real?
How do I love somebody like?

When I tried to call you
New year's eve popping bottles
Looking for for face in the big crowd
While you slept on the floor of your bathroom
What about these moments that we're supposed to share?
How can you say it's all good it's all great
When nothing's really great?

When I come close you pull back
When it gets rough you light a match
To burn down the strings attached

How do you love someone with trust issues?
How do you love someone and make them miss you?

You you
Somebody like you
Will you ever come closer
Oh I just wanna hold you
How do I love somebody like you?
