lyrics

Dear God, I hope I'm forgiven
For all the things that I do and say.
I know this life that I'm living
Will only serve to end my days.

I see the teacher after class;
I make a joke and she laughs.
Then, that night when I'm in bed,
I play it over and over in my head.
Then, while I'm swimming in my thoughts,
I seem to understand what it means to be a man.

Yeah, I carry everything at once.
I'll take a hit, I'll throw a punch,
I feel much stronger than I am.

And I am learning to love,
Learning to love myself,
Learning to love.
Learning to love,
Learning to love ourselves.

Most days I don't feel like myself;
I feel strange and I need help.
I am alone, I have no purpose.
I'm in pain and I deserve it.
You still love me all the while,
I wanna cry.
All my family and friends,
Just cause you gave me a chance,
I am a better man.

I am learning to love,
Learning to love myself.
Learning to love
(Learning to love) Learning to love
(Learning to love ourselves) Learning to love ourselves
(Learning to love) Learning to love
(Learning to love) Learning to love
(Learning to love ourselves) Learning to love ourselves
Learning to love

Every breath you take,
I breathe in.
It's such a pleasant taste,
I'll remember it as long as I live.

Every breath you take,
I breathe in.

(Learning to love)
Every breath you take,
(Learning to love ourselves)
I breathe in.
(Learning to love)
It's such a pleasant taste,
I'll remember it as long as I live.
(Learning to love)
Every breath you take,
(Learning to love ourselves, learning to love)
I breathe in.

(Learning to love) Learning to love,
(Learning to love ourselves) Learning to love myself,
(Learning to love) Learning to love
(We're just) Learning to love,
Learning to love ourselves,
Learning to love.
