I could learn to love you, I'm old enough I could learn to love you, I'm brave enough Not like a mother's love, decided from the womb Not like a burning love that flares at night and fades at noon I mean the stubborn kind that you choose I could learn to listen and not be selective I could learn to listen, to hear you and respect it I could get to know you apart from my own reflection I could learn to let go of you and set aside my expectations And put away the push and shove I may not have what it takes for love But I'm not afraid of the stakes for love And I will weather the aches for love, grace will see me true I have nothing here to prove I could learn to love you, I could be faithful I could learn to love, and lay it on the table I could be your closest friend, I can take some distance I could be your biggest fan, I can handle some resistance I will tell the truth
