You hate to be ignored Or maybe youre just bored So I opened up my mail and theres a note from you You say youre checkin in To see how I have been Hey Im doing so much better if youd like to know the truth You taught me well You were my teacher and I thank you For the hell you put me through Im very grateful cause I finally really learned what was important In my life And I thank my lucky stars everyday Im not your wife Youre selfishly absorbed Youre 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 Its not about taking, its 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
