Teach Me To Live

How many times do you want me to say it?
How many times do you want me to try?
In how many ways do I have to portray it?
What does it take to explain a goodbye?

Play the damn song - "I don't want you, don't need you"
I only love you - what for, I don't know
You're like a kid's book, I easily read you
Only I find the text shallow and slow

How many shots do you have left to slay me?
Just how much more would you like me to cry?
How many more nights will you try to lay me,
Soothe me and tame me, and force me to lie?

I'll send you flowers, I'll keep your heart cancer
I'll even be watching our favorite shows
I will write down both your right and wrong answers
I'll think of you when it's cold and it snows

I'll tell my lovers and haters about you
I'll burn the sunshine, but you'll be my star
I'll never dare to be happy without you...
Is that reward enough, is it by far?

We may be soulmates, but I'm not a mater
Yet even as hater, I don't understand
How you can break hearts and fall asleep later
Ruin a person and then hold their hand

You're not to blame, I'm just not good at seeing
It isn't like you've got nothing to give   
Teach you to die? That I have a degree in
Oh, but my love, you can't teach me to live
