Taught Me Well

You hate to be ignored

Or maybe you're just bored

So I opened up my mail and there's a note from you

You say you're checkin' in

To see how I have been

Hey I'm doing so much better if you'd like to know the truth

You taught me well

You were my teacher and I thank you

For the hell you put me through I'm very grateful

Cuz ' I finally really learned what was important

In my life

And I thank my lucky stars everyday I'm not your wife

You're selfishly absorbed

You're childish and a bore

And I used to hold the anger in my stomach like a fist

But in time it was quite clear

That only I was suffering here

And having gratitude for you was the way out of this

[Chorus]

You taught me well...that life is for living

It's not about taking, it's all about giving

You taught me well that sometimes what we

Want is staring us right in the face

And the power of forgiveness, the power of

Grace...of Grace
