Lyrics for I Was the One

I was the one who taught her to kiss The way that she kisses you now And you know the way she touches your cheek Well, I taught her how I was the one who taught her to cry When she wants you under her spell The sight of her tears drives you out of your mind I taught her so well And then one day I had my love as perfect as could be She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried And it was all for me, I I'll never know who taught her to lie Now that it's over and done Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart? I was the one And then looking one day I had my love as perfect as could be She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried And it was all for me, I I'll never know who taught her to lie Now that it's over and done Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart? I was the one
