I ve learned for myself
I shouldn t count on anybody else s help
I ve learned from my mistakes
You ve got to be careful in the risks you take
I ve learned from being alone
I need you with me more than you will ever know
I should ve learned that you don t care
And I should ve learned that you never will be there for me
I ve learned that being nice
Won t get you what it is that you want in life
I ve learned that being rude
Is never the right thing for me to do
I ve learned that I was wrong
To call you over and over on the telephone
I ve learned I ll always care for you
No matter what you and your friends might do to me
You could say I ve learned a lot from you
You could say you ve taught me a thing or two
You can say that you don t care for me
But still I ll say, Here s where I ll be for you
I ve learned that it s best
When things are going wrong to just give it a rest
I ve learned when nothing s right
You ve got to hang in there and face the fight
I should ve learned to let go
But what am I to do when I love you so?
I ve learned not to assume
Cause that s what started this whole mess with me and you
You could say I ve learned a lot from you
You could say you ve taught me a thing or two
You can say that you don t care for me
But still I ll say, Here s where I ll be for you
