Alice Peacock - Taught Me Well

You hate to be ignored


Or maybe you're just bored


So I opened up my mail and there's a note from you


You say you're checkin' in


To see how I have been


Hey I'm doing so much better if you'd like to know the truth


You taught me well


You were my teacher and I thank you


For the hell you put me through I'm very grateful


Cuz ' I finally really learned what was important


In my life


And I thank my lucky stars everyday I'm not your wife


You're selfishly absorbed


You're 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





You taught me well...that life is for living


It's not about taking, it's 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
