You taught me how to love

You taught me to break through anger and ice

You taught me how to be someone

Instead of being just someone’s empty advice

And when I needed to open

The French doors of my own fearfulness

You taught me how to let go

You taught me how to deconstruct my emptiness

You taught me how to speak up

You taught me how to embrace my impatience well

You taught me how to wake up

And never take for granted sight sound or smell

And when I needed to open

The French doors of my own fearfulness

You taught me how to let go

You taught me how to deconstruct my emptiness

So how do I move on

When every ounce of my hesitation is gone

Before you showed me how to hope

I would have been unwilling to write this song

You taught me how to love

You taught me to break through anger and ice

You taught me how to be someone

Instead of being just someone’s empty advice

And when I needed to open

The French doors of my own fearfulness

You taught me how to let go…you taught me how to let go

You taught me how to let go

You taught me how to deconstruct my emptiness
