Teach Me How Love Goes
Kris Allen Lyrics

Is there somewhere that I need to go
Am I missing out on something important? Is there a place or experience that would teach me about love?

And is there someone to teach me how love goes
I need guidance to understand how to navigate love and relationships. Is there a person who can show me?

'Cause I just can't believe
I'm struggling to accept that this is what love is supposed to be like.

That this is how it's supposed to be
I can't wrap my head around the idea that love should be this difficult or unfulfilling.

I've had enough
I'm at my limit and can't take any more of the struggles and confusion that come with trying to understand love.

And I don't wanna believe
I'm resistant to the idea that love is just a fantasy, or that my idealized version of it is unattainable.

That love is just a dream
I don't want to believe that love is just a fairy tale or something that only exists in our imaginations.

And now we're waking up
I'm realizing that the romanticized version of love I held onto is fading away, and the harsh realities of relationships are setting in.

So is there someone
I'm still searching for help to understand love and how to navigate it.

To teach me how love goes
I need someone to guide me in the ways of love and relationships, to show me the right path.

Is there some way to get back to May
Is it possible to return to a time when love was simpler and easier to understand?

Yes, and is there someone to show me the way
If it is possible to get back to that simpler time, I need a guide to help me navigate it and understand it better.

'Cause I forgot how she
I'm struggling to remember the things I loved about my partner and the reasons I fell in love with them in the first place.

Is pretty even when she has just woken up
The small, natural things about my partner that I found endearing and beautiful have been forgotten.

And I forgot how we
I'm also struggling to remember the connection and intimacy my partner and I used to share.

Can't make it through the evening without making love
Physical intimacy was a key aspect of our relationship, and it's something I miss and can't replicate on my own.

Father told me, son, we’ll never really know
My father told me that love is a complex, ever-evolving thing that is hard to understand or define.

So maybe life is just a lesson after all
Perhaps the point of life is not to find perfect, everlasting love, but to learn and grow from our experiences with it.

But I can't wait that long to know
I'm impatient and want to understand love and relationships now, rather than waiting to learn from the course of my life.

God, what's the secret
I'm questioning whether there is a hidden, elusive secret to love that I haven't yet discovered.

Oh, teach me how love goes
I'm still searching for someone or something to guide me in understanding love and its many complexities.

Is it in the words I say, is it in the things I do
I'm wondering whether love is expressed through language and actions, or whether it's something deeper and more intangible.

Is there a way to let her know she's the way I make it through
I'm trying to figure out how to express my feelings for my partner and make them understand how important they are to me.

Is there someone to teach me how love goes?
I'm still seeking guidance and direction on how to understand and navigate the complexities of love.
