What They Taught Me Songtext
von Collette Astle

I went back
Trusted again
Every reason to
Walk away from you
Call it quits, story book end

But I came back
Let that sink in
The lengths I went
The hours I spent
Dignity off the deep end

I was doing what they taught me
Which is that you never leave
I was doing what they taught me
Pretend happy

At the end of it all I′m ashamed of myself
For crawling back like I did
Woulda told my best friend
Don't let that shit happen again
Guess I gotta learn how to be my own best friend


I was doing what they taught me
Which is that you never leave
I was doing what they taught me
Pretend happy

At the end of it all I′m ashamed of myself
For staying as long as I did
But I had family
Tell me if I leave
I might never love again

But this isn't love (This isn't love)
Love can be enough (Love can be enough)
When it′s soft and doesn′t scold you
No this isn't love (No this isn′t love)
Love is enough (Love is enough)
When it holds you more than it hurts you

It's okay I was doing what they taught me
It′s okay that I didn't have the strength to leave
Cuz I can stand tall knowing I gave it my all
But I′ll never lose myself like that again

I'm done doing what they taught me
No more pretend happy
