How To Survive

Lori Mckenna


You knocked those pictures right off the wall 
I slammed the bathroom door so hard it doesn't close right at all 
Last week we broke my mother's favorite serving plate 
All just casualties of a love that's lost it's way 
You and I baby, don't even know how to fight 
We don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' 
Except how to survive 

How come we keep this TV up so loud 
What are we so afraid of that we keep drowning out 
Well, this is not the life that we deserve 
And talking might make it better 
But what if it makes it worse 
Cause you and I baby, don't even know how to fight 
We don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' 
Except how to survive 

We take times just coming out for real 
Oh, and I could cry about it but my tears don't look around here 
Last night I caught myself just looking at you 
But I only saw a stone wall impossible to break through 
Oh, you and I baby, don't even know how to fight 
We don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' 
Oh, we don't know nothin' bout nothin' 
Except how to survive 
How to survive 
How to survive
