Lesson I Ain’t Learned

One, two, three

There's a freeze frame moment

A box fan blowin'

Your hair across those early morning eyes

Golden rays fall through the window shade

And dance upon your face in little lines

And I swear to God I never wanted anything so much

I cast out my religion to be baptized by your touch

So go on, leave me broken

Baby, here's to hopin' I get over you

And nothin' lasts forever

But how could I know better when you said it too?

So quick to leave me guessin'

Like it was none of my concern

Well, maybe it's a blessin' now

Or just another lesson I ain't learned

Put away your pictures

Half-assed read some scripture

I still see your shadows in the hall

This isn't what I wanted

And now this house is haunted

I can't seem to get no sleep at all

I was so fed up with waitin' up for you to never ring

I handed you my heart and you chose to let it bleed

Go on, leave me broken

Baby, here's to hopin' I get over you

Nothin' lasts forever

But how could I know better when you said it too?

You cut away my roots

So you could set me up to burn

Maybe it's a blessin' now

Or just another lesson I ain't learned

Now every time I see you

I know I'm in a dream

I want so bad to call you

But you ain't callin' me

Go on, leave me broken

Baby, here's to hopin' I get over you

Nothin' lasts forever

But how could I know better when you said it too?

So quick to leave me guessin'

Like it was none of my concern

Well, maybe it's a blessin' now

Or just another lesson I ain't learned
