You conjure up your courage and you finally make the telephone call
You get a busy signal else it rings and no one answers at all
And then your mind begins imagining things that could or couldn't be so
I know the feelin' that you're feelin' it's a feelin' that I'm feelin'
And I want you to know
I'm gonna teach my heart to bend instead of breakin'
Teach myself to lean and not to fall
Teach my heart to bend instead of breakin' I've taken all I can take and that's all
I'm gonna teach my heart...
