How to Love

You know a pretty girl will make you do ugly things

Like smoke cigarettes and buy diamond rings

Yeah, I know I am not a heartless man

But there's some things that I hardly understand

Well there's one thing you did was good for me

You showed me things that I just couldn't see

Made me realize I do need love

Even though in the end, I wasn't good enough

Oh, the way you hurt me showed me how to love

Yeah, the way you hurt me showed me how to love

Sold everything I had and bought a lie

There ain't a powder or a pill could ever get my hopes this high

But a life of sin it brought me to my knees

Love could have been the cure, but your love was a disease

And the way you hurt me showed me how to love

Yeah, the way you hurt me showed me how to love

Oh, the way you hurt me showed me how to love

Yeah, the way you hurt me showed me how to love

Well, I hardly recognize you anymore

It's been so many years since you walked out of the door

And now i see that you could hardly hurt a fly

The way you treated me was wrong, but I know the reason why

'Cause the way they hurt you showed you how to love

Oh, the way they hurt you showed you how to love

Yeah, the way they hurt you showed you how to love

Oh, the way they hurt you showed you

How to love
