Uh, mm
He didn’t walk me down those stairsDidn’t warn me ’bout them boys who wouldn’t careDidn’t tell me what a real man sounds likeSo I fell for the ones that lied just right
He never pulled my chair or checked my friendsNever showed me what to lose or what to defeatSo I chased love with an open woundLooking for something I was never introduced to
Her mama did her best but she can’t teachWhat it feels like when a father speaksSo I took every I love you too deepEven when they only meant it for a week
How was I supposed to know what love looked like?When daddy never showed me what felt rightHow was I supposed to set the bar?When I ain’t never seen no man fight for my heart
Now, I’m learning through heartbreak piece by pieceTryna be something, the world has been hard on meI ain’t bitter, just broken in places you can’t seeHow was I supposed to know? If he ain’t teach me
I thought pain was part of being chosenIf he stayed then the hurt was worth holdingI called settling a sign of love‘Cause I ain’t know a man should lift me up
And know, you’re beautiful just ’cause I’m hisAnd no, I got you when life don’t make senseSo I let bare minimum feel like gold‘Cause I ain’t know I deserve more to hold
Her mama raised a queen with a wounded crownTaught me strength but I still let love drag me down‘Cause daddy never gave me that love one on oneSo I mistook lust for the real one
How was I supposed to know what love looked like?When daddy never showed me what felt rightHow was I supposed to set the bar?When I ain’t never seen no man fight for my heart
Now, I’m learning through heartbreak piece by pieceTryna be soft in a world that’s been hard on meAin’t bitter, just broken in places you can’t seeHow was I supposed to know? If he ain’t teach me
I needed arms that protectedNot ones that neglectedNeeded truth without gamesReal love with no pain
So now, I relearn what I missedUnpacking daddy wounds from every kissBut I promise one day I’ll be freeOf the love that never covered me
How was I supposed to know what love looked like?When my first man left before I learned to fightNow I raise my standards like prayers to the skyFor the girl I was who needed to know why
I still stumble, but now I seeThe kind of love that was meant for meAnd I’ll teach my daughter what he couldn’t showSo she’ll know
