Learn to love and you learn to survive
|
My mistake was thinking love wouldn't catch me
|
It was the story of my life
|
I awakened seeing with new eyes
|
I begged forgiveness, but love wouldn't hear me
|
Taught you to fear me, baby
|
|
Love forgot we used to be just fine
|
And love forgot about the tender times
|
Love forgot to ask you if you'd want to give me
|
Give me one more try
|
Maybe love forgot this time
|
|
Love can't love someone who breaks a vow
|
But I was not myself, my heart wasn't in it
|
I still loved you every minute
|
I could fix it if you show me how
|
You didn't hear it from somebody else, I told you
|
Praying you'd let me hold you
|
|
(I can't believe) Love forgot the power to forgive
|
(Impossible) And love forgot that we depend on it
|
(It couldn't be) Love forgot that it's the only way
|
Our poetry will ever rhyme
|
I think love forgot this time
|
|
But who would have ever known
|
I'd ever be tempted, but I'm hopin'
|
Love will show me what to do
|
Cuz if it was all so easy
|
Then anybody else coulda shown me
|
I don't understand how you wouldn't know
|
I never even meant it
|
|
(I can't believe) Did love forget this was the only time
|
(Impossible) Did love forget I tried to set things right
|
(It couldn't be) Did love forget to remember
|
That regret lives in this heart of mine
|
Maybe love forgot this time
|
|
(I can't believe) Love forgot the power to forgive
|
(Impossible) And love forgot that we depend on it
|
(It couldn't be) Love forgot that it's the only way
|
That poetry will ever rhyme
|
Maybe love forgot this time
|
|
Did you forget this time
|
Did you forget this time
|
Don't forget me now
|
Don't forget me now
|
Did you forget somehow
|
Did you forget somehow
|
