If I Never Learn To Love

If I never learn to love will you judge me?
If I never learn to love, it's probably because I never had my dad hug me
Cupid hit me many times with the wrong arrow and left me bloody
If I never learn to love will you judge me?

Good hearts get taken advantage of and abused
My kindness was taken as weakness
The love I had in my heart has been removed
I'm leaving it without fixing the broken pieces 

I shared time with those who didn't deserve it
I shed tears over people who weren't worth it
Scars gained on the way to succeeding
Don't pass me a bandage, I'm happy to display the bleeding 

I don't want another chance with love
I've spent my past few years avoiding a dance and hugs
I can't open up anymore, I've became numb
If love comes my way now, I plan to run

If I never learn to love will you judge me?
If I never learn to love, it's probably because I never had my dad hug me
Cupid hit me many times with the wrong arrow and left me bloody
If I never learn to love will you judge me?
