Song Description
I don't really know how to love myself. I haven't really experienced it. Your love is so strange and unfamiliar that I can't trust it. I can't believe it. I will hurt you so it's better for both of us if I just leave now.

Lyrics
You?re a heaven that I haven?t earned
While you?re trying to love me I fight
What I probably never deserved
Said ?I love you? meant as much as I can
How can I give you my all
When I don?t know who I am
Chorus:
How can I make you happy
When it?s something that I?ve never seen
How can I really love you
When I don?t truly know what that means
How can I make you happy
When I feel unworthy
I?ve tasted what your love could be
It?s so foreign I feel frightened
And so it?s easier to leave
Let me go dear; just try to forget
I?m punishing myself as a penance
And we both pay the debt
Chorus:
How can I make you happy
When it?s something that I?ve never seen
How can I really love you
When I don?t truly know what that means
How can I make you happy
When I feel unworthy
Bridge:
Look to me with tears in your eyes
I don?t know what to do
It?s better for me to leave now
?cause I know what I?ll put you through
Chorus:
How can I make you happy
When it?s something that I?ve never seen
How can I really love you
When I don?t truly know what that means
How can I make you happy
When I feel unworthy
