Rosie Thomas - Tell Me How lyrics

How am I supposed to know

What love is really like

When I've never even been in love before

Aren't you supposed to love yourself

Before you can understand how to love someone after all

How can I find a way to keep my mother safe

From the boogie man who hides under the stairs

How can I find a way to take his breath away

when he's gently sleeping soundly next to her

Oh how (x6)

Can I save her

How am I to live this life

when the only certanty

is that death is waiting for me at the end

everyday that passes,

i know time is running out

and i fear i may have failed what i'd been given

oh how (x4)

Tell me how

Oh how

Am I supposed to live

How am I to define what faith is to a child

When the only explaination lies within

How am I to tell them if they never follow Christ

That heaven doesn't hold a place for them

Oh how (x4)

Tell me how

When I'm no better than them

Oh how (x4)

Tell me how

Oh how

Am I suposed to live.
