Nobody taught me how to love
Doin the best that i can
love sometimes i don't understand
I can't hear dark to light
I can't smell day to night
I can't taste black or white
but if you give me a chance

even summers were cold
and then later
I built up the deepest resentment
That made my trust turn to doubt
reluctant and hesitant
past pain was the evidence
be patient with me
there's no denying that I'm trying but
