I rest my hand across your lips
Feel your breath by my fingertips
No longer can I delay what is right
But this love it wont give up without a fight
Id write a note and tear it up
There are no words that could say enough
I know Im gonna hurt you when l walk out that door
But I swear its gonna hurt me even more
[Chorus]
You taught me how to laugh
You taught me how to cry
When I gave up you even taught me how to try
Theres one more thing to learn before I spread my wings and fly
You gonna have to teach me how to say
Goodbye, goodbye
Wish I could see your dreams tonight
Wish I could make them turn out right
Tempted to turn back for just one last kiss
But my heart tells me its better just like this
So this is how the story ends
When love is gone you cant pretend
No matter who else I give my heart to
Theres a part of it that still belongs to you
[Chorus]
You taught me how to laugh
You taught me how to cry
When I gave up you even taught me how to try
Theres one more thing to learn before I spread my wings and fly
You gonna have to teach me how to say
Goodbye, goodbye
You made me strong when I was weak
Gave my heart a voice to speak
You mustve known this day will come
When the lessons are all done
All except for one, no
[Chorus]
You taught me how to laugh
You taught me how to cry
When I gave up you even taught me how to try
Theres one more thing to learn before I spread my wings and fly
