[Intro]
"I genuinely don't know how to start this because there's quite a lot to unpack"
"Wait, let me take my PrEP"
"Take your time, girl"

[Verse 1]
The best parts of my youth, they mean nothing to me
Took a blow to my chest, had to grit my teeth, oh
Love is a zero-sum game
But not when I can't seem to restore my faith
So I had a plan to never look back
Once I've finally made my escape

[Chorus]
'Cause how do I love? (How do I love?)
How do I trust? (How do I trust?)
When hurting is all that I've known since forever
And how can I sleep? (How can I sleep?)
How can I dream? (How can I dream?)
When hurting is all I'm ablе to remember
No, you'll nеver have my love

[Post-Chorus]
My love, my love, my love
My love, my love, my love
My love, my love, my love

[Verse 2]
I wish that I could run
Can't hold it in much longer
But I'm my father's son
You are your mother's daughter
And if it ends with me
I gotta prove I'm stronger, stronger

[Chorus]
Still, how do I love? (How do I love?)
How do I trust? (How do I trust?)
When hurting is all that I've known since forever (Since forever)
And how can I sleep? (How can I, How can I?)
How can I dream? (How can I dream?)
When hurting is all I'm able to remember
No, you'll never have my love

[Post-Chorus]
Oh (My love, my love, my love)
My love, my love (My love, my love, my love)
Oh, never have my love (My love, my love, my love)

[Outro]
We find meaning in like, our own families
That's why having chosen families is so important
Especially for like, people of marginalized identities
We choose who we wanna call family
And I think that that's a big step
