How to Be Loved

You got a way of just talking too much
Wonder what emptiness you're trying to fill
You got a way of just giving too much
I wish you would let it go to let you feel
 
It's cool
To shut the world out sometimes
 
If I showed you how to be loved
Would you learn to love yourself
Would you know you've given enough
To take some of what's left
 
Cause if there's one thing about loving somebody
Counterintuitive maybe but true
It is that whatever your heart is coming with
There will be tonnes of it around for you (baby so…)

If I showed you how to be loved
Would you learn to love yourself
Before anybody else
 
You got a way of just shying away
If they only knew what they're missing out on
Looking for ways for you to escape
But it's only you who sees prison bars
 
 It's cool
To let the world in sometimes

If I showed you how to be loved
D'you learn to love yourself
Before anybody else
 
Ooooh…
Ooooh…
Ooooh…
Ooooh…
