Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
When I can't see an end in sight
And when I lose my will to fight
When I get all turned around
And when the silence breaks me down
What do you want to teach me?
What do you want to teach me?
When I can't get out of bed
(What do you want to teach me?)
And when the fears infect my head
(What do you want to teach me?)
When I don't know how to live
(What do you want to teach me?)
And when the darkness closes in
(What do you want to teach me?)
What do you want to teach me?
What do you want to teach me?
