Jessica, I hope it’s true
That he had to break my heart
To learn how to love you

Falling in love is easy
He tells you: You’re the one
You don’t have to believe me
But he said that to me once

Jessica, the world is cruel
He had to be untrue to me before
He could be true to you

The wheel keeps on turning and
There’s no wrong or right, and
I'm not quite trying to warn you or
Tell you how to live your life, but

Jessica, I hope for you
That by taking all I had
He learned how to give to you
