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
