[Verse 1]
It's not you. it's me
Same old story, every morning
One too many times, like twenty times this week
And I'm standin' on two feet
But only barely, it's kinda scary
Knowing you just might decide to try to leave

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause everyone except for me
Knows how to open up
It looks so easy on TV
But when it comes to us

[Chorus]
How am I supposed to love you? (You)
When I just can't see
Myself the way that you said that you'd do (You'd do)
When you look at me
We'll run in circles around my heart
'Cause I'm not ready the way you are
So, how am I supposed to love you
Mm-hmm, mm, if I can't love mе?

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Little things you do
You left me flowеrs on the counter
With a note that read, "I'm such a mess for you"
If you like such a fool
'Cause I sure want you, I really want to
But I'm paralyzed, I'm tryna hide the truth

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause everyone except for me
Knows how to open up
It looks so easy on TV
But when it comes to us

[Chorus]
How am I supposed to love you? (How am I, how am I supposed?)
When I just can't see (Just can't see)
Myself the way that you said that you'd do (Myself the way, myself the way you'd do)
When you look at me (Look at me)
We'll run in circles around my heart
'Cause I'm not ready the way you are
So, how am I supposed to love you (How am I, how am I supposed?)
Mm-hmm, mm, if I can't love me?

[Outro]
If I can't love me?
Mm-hmm, mm, if I can't love me?
