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
