You must be so scared
that's why you hold on to everything so tightly
paying no mind to your hands
and who it is, or what it is
they might be suffocating
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
a hammer with a human head
must've been, must've been
and you must feel so insecure
that's why you nail yourself and everyone else
down to the floor
and you must feel so threatened
that's why you break everything in half
before it can bend
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
a hammer with a human head
must've been, must've been
(instrumental)
and fear might make them stay
but it won't bring back
any of the good things that
you've already driven away
fear won't make them stay
fear will make them run away
(gently, desperately)
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
a hammer with a human head
must've been, must've been
(invigorated, with renewed self-assuredness)
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
a hammer with a human head
must've been, must've been
