Taught Me Well Lyrics - Who I Am - Alice Peacock

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 

'cause ' 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 

[Chorus] 

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
