Lyrics
Lover, come back and teach me to smile
Because I?ve not employed these lips in a while
Kissing has become a fruitless denial
So lover, acquit me and spare me the trial
Lover, come back and teach me to cry
Because it?s been quite a spell I?ve forsaken these eyes
Vision is pointless where there is no light
So lover, reveal me and teach me to shine
I?ve forgotten how your tears would always make your eyes turn green
Or how you?d bite your lip and say let?s play to me my queen
I forgot you always told me that I never should regret
But the one thing that I can?t remember is how to forget you
Lover, please come back and teach me to feel
Because the only pleasure I know now is this tortured scab that I peel and peel
So that the wound that you left me with never will heal
So Lover, come back and my pleasure steal
