We Are Taught

Lyrics

I found your picture underneath my bedroom door
I got down on my knees, my body on the floor
I gave you everything, you always gave me more
That's how it goes, that's how it goes
I see your face, you're reaching deep into my soul
Every mistake you made, I always made one more
My best defense is that there's no use keeping score
That's how it goes, that's how it goes

We are taught to do what's good and we are taught to do what's right
By our mothers and our fathers in our beds in the moonlight
We are taught to do what's good and we are taught to do what's right
We'll do what's right, we'll do what's right

I never thought that love could be the enemy
With this burden I am slowly weakening
I did my best but it was never good enough
Or so it seemed, or so it seemed
You never asked for much, unselfish to the core
Just someone gentle, someone for you to grow old
Can you hear me cause I'm knocking at your door
I know you're home, I know you're home

We are taught to do what's good and we are taught to do what's right
By our mothers and our fathers in our beds in the moonlight
We are taught to do what's good and we are taught to do what's right
We'll do what's right, we'll do what's right

If you look back home I will be there
If you look back home I will be there, there

We are taught to do what's good and we are taught to do what's right
By our mothers and our fathers in our beds in the moonlight
We are taught to do what's good and we are taught to do what's right
We'll do what's right, we'll do what's right
