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.
