Today I talked to a semi-stranger
Em G
A girl that I sorta know
Am C
But every encounter at the corner grocery
Em G
Holds potential for our relationship to grow
Am C
And half of my brain was totally afraid
Em G
That she'd hate me, never want to see me again
Am C
And half of my brain was equally afraid
Em G
That she'd like me, want to be my friend
Am C Em G
I am learning to love
Am C Em G
I am learning to let myself be loved
F Am G F
How did I miss this lesson when I was young?

Yesterday I was anxious and alone
Em G
So I called a friend to make me feel ok
Am
And for a moment I found myself
C
Angry at him for offering help
Em
When I should have just been grateful
G
For what he gave
Am C Em G
I am learning to love
Am C Em G
I am learning to let myself be loved
