Teach Me

Contrary to what you think
 It wasn't such a long time ago
 Contrary to what you choose to believe
 I still love you
 And you don't know how much I care
 I bought you flowers
 When all you wanted was for me to hold your hand
 And am sorry, sorry
 I wrote you letters
 When I should have picked up the phone and called you
 Now teach me to love you
 Then I'll know the words to say
 Oh teach me to love you
 Then I'll know how to show you that I care
 I heard every word you said
 Somehow forgot to pay attention to emotion
 Thought I was doing everything right
 Last thing I expected to find was your bags at the door
 Now what am I supposed to tell our children
 How do I say we both agreed to walk away
 No no, please stay, stay
 And teach me to love you
 Then I'll know the words to say
 Oh teach me to love you
 Then I'll know how to show you that I care
 I love you - I care
 I love you - (Yeah)
 I love you - I care
 I love you - please stay
 And teach, teach me to love you
 Then I'll know the words to say
 Oh teach me to love you
 Then I'll know how to show you that I care
