Learning How To Love
Colony House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They say that trust it takes time
That it's a mountain to climb
I think that I am the reason why
I've been waiting for
Things to change in my heart again
I've been changing
Keep taking steps for you
I've been changing
But I'm still learning how to love
Take me
I feared that love wouldn't take me
I feared that rest was a maybe
I feared the cost of my broken words
Trust me
You took my hand and said trust me
You took my heart and said love me
With who you are
Not with who you were
I've been waiting for
Things to change in my heart again
I've been changing
While waiting on
Keep taking steps for you
I've been changing
But I'm still learning how to love
I'm still learning how to love
Oh, these storms I know
These battles of the snow
The scars, they start to show
While learning how to love
I've been waiting for
Things to change in my heart again
I've been changing
While waiting on
Keep taking steps for you
I've been changing
But I'm still learning how to love
I'm still learning how to love
I'm still learning how to love
The lyrics of "Learning How to Love" by Colony House reflect a journey of self-discovery and growth, particularly in the area of love and trust. The lyrics begin with the idea that trust takes time to build, and that sometimes it can feel like a difficult climb to get there. However, the singer acknowledges that they themselves may be the reason why trust is taking longer to develop. They have been waiting for things to change in their heart and have been working on changing themselves as well, but they still feel like they are learning how to love.
The second verse shifts to a more personal perspective, where the singer expresses their fears about love not being able to take them in, rest being uncertain, and the weight of their past mistakes. However, it seems like someone has come alongside the singer, taking their hand and heart, and urging them to trust and love. This person asks the singer to love them for who they are, not for who they were, which suggests a recognition of personal growth and change.
The chorus repeats the idea of waiting for change, but still being in the process of changing and learning how to love. The bridge recognizes the difficulty of this journey, referring to it as battling through storms and snow, and bearing the scars that come with it. However, despite the hardship, the singer seems committed to continuing to take steps towards love and growth.
Overall, "Learning How to Love" is a song about the journey of self-discovery, growth, and learning how to love and trust others. It acknowledges that this process is challenging and often painful, but ultimately worth it.
