You Taught Me Well

I fell for you should have known better The truth slipped in silently in your first letters Remember those days, unfettered? I fell not hard Yet it crushes me how I could care so much, in anger I let myself down My golden happiness turned now brown Why should it matter? Why pretend? I won't find otherwise; My heart you will not mend Though love will not be hate in the end Now my love, tainted, when I gaze into your eyes tis not lust you see but love disguised A weakness, this I can not deny You I thank for liberating me, my idealistic hell Yes my love this much I can tell: You have taught me well I will turn down the flame; Learn to do without Forget your name and leave no doubt ... this time blow the candle out I write this why? I can not tell In this truth I can not dwell Yes, you have taught me well
