People Love You the Way They Love You

from Why Do We Want What We Want by Karen & the Sorrows

lyrics

Well I know what you dreamed
That love would keep you warm, make you safe
Make you seen

And I know how you feel
That if you’re hurtin’ and alone
It wasn’t real
But baby that ain’t part of the deal

‘Cause people love you the way they love you
Not the way you need to be loved

What they’ve lost
What they’ve been through
I know you think you have a say
But it ain’t true

Now that don’t mean that it’s right
Or that people never change
Well they just might

But I know that their hearts
Ain’t always got the skill it takes
To play their part
Sometimes it just ain’t in the cards

‘Cause people love you the way they love you
Not the way you need to be loved

What they’ve lost
What they’ve been through
Sometimes to walk away is
All that you can do

But oh a greater love
It’s on its way
It’s on its way

It’s nothing like you dreamed of
But it’s on its way
It’s on its way
It’s on its way

‘Cause people love you the way they love you
Not the way you need to be loved
What you’ve lost
What you’ve been through
Sometimes holding on is all that you can do
Sometimes holding on’s the best
That you can do
