Could You

Could you?

Could you ever learn to love again
With all the heartbreak in-between
Learn again to have faith in men
With all they've done and all you've seen

Could you ever learn to trust again
When you've heard your share of lies
Bring yourself to forgive
Let the anger inside you die

Could you ever learn to smile again
And in time not think twice
When your mind comes to rest on men
Whether past or present in this life

Could you ever learn to love again
Ever learn to trust again
Learn to smile inside again
When it comes to men

Could you?
