Teach Me

Teach me how to love you like I wrote

And say it like I mean it when I don't

Teach me how to hold you in my arms

Without squeezing too damn tight and causing harm

I'll learn not to look at you with scorn

I will if you promise to never have been born

By all means give me your lessons in my ways

But damn it don't expect me to change

Mold me to the man that I should be

But don't consider that man to be free

And how am I expected to behave

How when I'm alone with myself everyday

I never loved you enough my love

And I'll never hold you close enough

Teach me how to love you like I wrote

And say it like I mean it when I don't
