[Verse 1:]

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 I'm 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 

There's one more thing to learn before I spread my wings and fly 

You gonna have to teach me how to say 

Goodbye, goodbye 



[Verse 2:]

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 

There's 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 

There's one more thing to learn before I spread my wings and fly 

You gonna have to teach me how to say 

Goodbye, goodbye 



[Bridge:]

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 

There's 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
