I can learn how to diet.
I can learn to like seafood.
I can learn to be quiet,
when you’re not in a good mood.

These things would be easy,
if compared to
learning how to ever,
ever, ever love you.

I can learn to like mint toothpaste.
I can learn to like your hair long.
I can learn to stand your music taste,
featuring awful country songs.

These things would be easy,
if compared to
learning how to ever,
ever, ever love you.

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don't stay down. When in doubt, don't stop believing.
