One foot onto the ice 
I hold my breath 
And try to believe 
Can I look at you with different eyes? 
Like the girl that I was, when I was 17 

The fallen empires, 
The shattered glass 
The wicked echos of my past. 
I've seen it all before, that's why I'm asking. 

Will you still be here tomorrow 
Or will you leave in the dead of the night? 
So your waves don't crash around me, 
I'm staying one step ahead of the tide. 
Will you leave me lost in my shadows 
Or will you pull me into your light? 
Teach me how to be loved 
Teach me how to be loved 

I got caught up in a daze 
Of the wine and roses 
Such a sweet escape 
But I watched it all slip away  [bad word] water from my hands 
Raining on this picture land 
The fallen empires, 
The shattered glass 
The wicked echos of my past. 
I've seen it all before, that's why I'm asking. 

Will you still be here tomorrow 
Or will you leave in the dead of the night? 
So your waves don't crash around me, 
I'm staying one step ahead of the tide. 
Will you leave me lost in my shadows 
Or will you pull me into your light? 

Teach me how to be loved 
Can I give myself just one more second chance? 
And put my [bad word] in love, 
Please don't hurt me. 
If I make myself like a feather in you hand 
And put my [bad word] in love, 
Please don't hurt me. 

Will you still be here tomorrow 
Or will you leave in the dead of the night? 
So your waves don't crash around me, 
I'm staying one step ahead of the tide. 
Will you leave me lost in my shadows 
Or will you pull me into your light? 
Teach me how to be loved 
Teach me how to be loved
