I Don't Know How To Love

Definitely about a dysfunctional relationship. Obviously the one expressing this thought process is the one being hurt by his or her partner. Being the partner claims they "don't know how to love"; also when the singer claims, "I could touch your hair 3 months ago but now it makes you so upset". She's losing her interest, due to his lack of emotional stability most likely, same story, different song. But this is a good one.

I\'ve always loved the song, and I think the lyrics paint a pretty telling picture of a relationship. It was a relationship between two people that couldn\'t live up to it\'s original \'bang\'. Starting with this line: \n\nBut I remember football in the snow\nEverybody\'s gone home\n\nFootball is a sport where the games are much entertainment as they are competition. The football season overlaps into winter, but I think that line shows that what once was a big and exciting show, is now over. Winter is also a pretty big association with the death of something, like the death of a relationship. \'Everyone going home\' can also be interpreted as someone showing love in public, but withholding affection in private.\n\nI think the football reference also alludes to the age of this relationship. I personally interpreted it as a relationship between two young people. With the line: \n\nBut you say I don\'t know how to love\nI simply don\'t understand my life\n\nI felt like the singer is still navigating who they are, and how that confusion is affecting their relationship. Lastly, the repeated line, especially with the higher pitch near the end, reminded me of two things: whining and nagging. Both give a sense of immaturity and childish-ness.

love this song! Sounds like a happy tune, but lyrics dont seem to mean that, at least for me its about a relationship that`s pretty much over or about to end.

But you say I don’t know how to love I simply don’t understand my life

That's what she said.

I think this is about someone who wants to do everything right in their relationship but the other person isn't responding causing them to feel that they "don't know how to love" and question themselves Love this song

i think this song is abt someone falling out of love/ losing interest in the other person, and it’s a sad song to me :(
