Here I go with my heart wide open
I'm all frustrated again
Yeah lock the door, throw away the key
Said I'll never let no one in
I was gullible
I was wrapped up in the web you caught me in
So vulnerable
True love lost its meaning

And after self-evaluation
I found I lost me in translation
See the girl with the broken heart
See the girl with the ugly scars
It's not a girl with the brand new scarf, oh yeah

Now I know how to love somebody
I know love is out there for me
I know there's no way that love forgot
Love won't leave me out
I know how to love somebody
I know love will come back to me
I know there's no way that love forgot
Love won't leave me out

It's amazing to know how far
You could go on hope with no doubt
It's the way love goes
It'll take you through and it always brings you out
It won't leave you stranded
Though you may feel abandoned
My experience is my evidence

And with a little evaluation
I found I got a whole lot of patience
Am I the girl with the broken heart?
And the girl with the ugly scars
It's not a girl with the brand new scarf

Now I know how to love somebody
I know love is out there for me
I know there's no way that love forgot
Love won't leave me out
I know how to love somebody
I know love will come back to me
I know there's no way that love forgot
Love won't leave me out

I can feel my heart again
This time I'm not afraid
I can open up my ear
Hear what true love's got to say
This time I want it all
No matter run or fall
I won't back at all when love goes

Now I know how to love somebody
I know love is out there for me
I know there's no way that love forgot
Now I know how to love somebody
I know love will come back to me
I know there's no way that love forgot
Love won't leave me out

No, no, no
It's not gonna leave me out no, no
I've come too far
I've come so far for love to leave me out like this, oh yea
Oh it didn't forget about me
Love won't leave me out
