I rest my hand across your lips

Feel your breath by my fingertips

No longer can I delay what is right

But this love it wont give up without a fight



Id write a note and tear it up

There are no words that could say enough

I know Im gonna hurt you when l walk out that door

But I swear its gonna hurt me even more



[Chorus]

You taught me how to laugh

You taught me how to cry

When I gave up you even taught me how to try

Theres one more thing to learn before I spread my wings and fly

You gonna have to teach me how to say

Goodbye, goodbye





Wish I could see your dreams tonight

Wish I could make them turn out right

Tempted to turn back for just one last kiss

But my heart tells me its better just like this



So this is how the story ends

When love is gone you cant pretend

No matter who else I give my heart to

Theres a part of it that still belongs to you



[Chorus]





You taught me how to laugh

You taught me how to cry

When I gave up you even taught me how to try

Theres one more thing to learn before I spread my wings and fly

You gonna have to teach me how to say

Goodbye, goodbye





You made me strong when I was weak

Gave my heart a voice to speak

You mustve known this day will come

When the lessons are all done



All except for one, no



[Chorus]

You taught me how to laugh

You taught me how to cry

When I gave up you even taught me how to try

Theres one more thing to learn before I spread my wings and fly



You gonna have to teach me how to say

Goodbye



You gonna have to teach me how to say

Goodbye...
