I was taught to love in the thick mist of my loneliness
Wandering blind
Reaching out for anything
Coming up with nothing
I was taught to love the heart and the soul
Of those who have no one
Of those who never belong
I was taught to love those who get told to shut up
Those who think their life is one big fuck-up
Those who are too ashamed to look in the mirror
I was taught to love those who can't love themselves
Those who have forgotten how to talk
And have only the pictures in their shelves
I was taught to love those who think their life has no meaning
Who have been crippled by the invisible bleeding

I was taught to love you
Because nobody knows me but you
I see everyone
Nobody sees me but you
'Cause I was taught to love you

You have the wrong clothes
You have the wrong words
You tell the wrong jokes
Everything you do is awkward
But you have my heart
And you're closer than you think you are
You have my heart and I love you
