[Verse 1]
You've been busted and you've been bruised
You've been kicked in the dirt
They say we accept the love we think we deserve
Mama, she taught you that leaving is all people do
Cuttin' her wrist, a home full of brokenness
That's all that you knew
And Daddy stood by, never gave you the time
He never was there for the Friday night lights
Honey, you were set up to lose
I camе around, showed you love ain't a crime
And you turnеd your back and I didn't know why
Love isn't pain but that's all that you knew
And sometimes we can't escape what we're used to

[Chorus]
Love'll never hurt you
Love'll never desert you
Love'll never tell you you're not enough
Sometimes love isn't what our parents taught us
Sometimes love isn't what our parents taught us

[Verse 2]
Every night drank yourself to sleep
Couldn't wash away her memory
Wasted your love on a girl that was never gonna fix you
She ran around but you couldn't let go
Breaks my heart that abuse is all you know
My love is pure and my love is true
And I'd never do what she did to you
[Chorus]
Love'll never hurt you
Love'll never desert you
Love'll never tell you you're not enough
Sometimes love isn't what our parents taught us
Sometimes love isn't what our parents taught us

[Bridge]
And I pray God shows you the things I can't
Pray you know you're a damn good man
And I pray one day you get all the love that you should have had
And I pray you'll learn to raise your own
And you're always there when they need you most
And I pray one day you'll give 'em love that you should have had

[Chorus]
Love'll never hurt you
Love'll never desert you
Love'll never tell you you're not enough
And sometimes love isn't what our parents taught us
Sometimes love isn't what our parents taught us
