V1

Contrary to what you think
It wasn’t such a long time ago
Contrary to what you choose to believe
I still love you
And you don’t know how much I care
I bought you flowers
When all you wanted was for me to hold your hand
And am sorry … sorry
I wrote you letters
When I should have picked up the phone and called you

Chorus:
Now teach me to love you
Then I’ll know the words to say
Oh teach me to love you
Then I’ll know how to show you that I care

V2
I heard every word you said
Somehow forgot to pay attention to emotion
Thought I was doing everything right
Last thing I expected to find was your bags at the door
Now, what am I supposed to tell our children
How do I say we both agreed to walk away
No no.. please stay, stay

Chorus:
Bridge
I love you… I care
I love you… (Yeah)
I love you… I care
I love you… please stay
