Learn to love and you learn to survive My mistake was thinking love wouldn't catch me It was the story of my life I awakened seeing with new eyes I begged forgiveness, but love wouldn't hear me Taught you to fear me, baby Love forgot we used to be just fine And love forgot about the tender times Love forgot to ask you if you'd want to give me Give me one more try Maybe love forgot this time Love can't love someone who breaks a vow But I was not myself, my heart wasn't in it I still loved you every minute I could fix it if you show me how You didn't hear it from somebody else, I told you Praying you'd let me hold you (I can't believe) Love forgot the power to forgive (Impossible) And love forgot that we depend on it (It couldn't be) Love forgot that it's the only way Our poetry will ever rhyme I think love forgot this time But who would have ever known I'd ever be tempted, but I'm hopin' Love will show me what to do Cuz if it was all so easy Then anybody else coulda shown me I don't understand how you wouldn't know I never even meant it (I can't believe) Did love forget this was the only time (Impossible) Did love forget I tried to set things right
