How Lyrics

(They say) get up out of that bed, turn the lights on
You gotta try to forget where it went wrong
Don't you beat yourself up asking questions
Love's gonna come your way again, oh
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e65708-katharine_mcphee~how_lyrics.html ]
(They say) step outside of your door, let the light in
You never really escape when you're hiding
All I want is to be set free
From this pain that is haunting me

[Chorus]
Can you tell me how
(When I am broken down and all hope is over)
Can you tell me how
(Too many pieces of my heart to put back together)
If I could I'd take hold of myself
Pull me out this living hell
Can you tell me how
Oh, can you tell me how

(They say) if you open your heart to the healing
Time will take all those scars you've been wearing
Please don't tell me how I should be feeling
I'm not sure I even wanna try, oh

(They say) you just gotta let go and move on
You're only hurting yourself when you hold on
All I want is to lose this pain
Every drop of it washed away

[Chorus]
Can you tell me how
(When I am broken down and all hope is over)
Can you tell me how
(Too many pieces of my heart to put back together)
If I could I'd take hold of myself
Pull me out this living hell
Can you tell me how
Oh, can you tell me how

How do I leave this love behind, how?
Can you tell me how?
