Teach Me

teach me how to love you like I wrote

and say it like I mean it when I don'tteach me how to hold you in my arms

without squeezing too damn tight and causing harmI'll learn not to look at you with scorn

if you promise to never have been bornby all means give me lessons in my ways

but damn it don't expect me to changemould me to the man that I should be

but don't consider that man to be freehow am I expected to behave?

when I'm alone with myself everydayand I'll never love

you enough

my loveand I'll never hold

you close

enoughteach me how to love you like I wrote

and say it like I mean it when I don't.
