Lessons Lyrics

Can't you see

How you desecrate the temple

That is me

You don't recognize the inhumanity

Of your reckless handling of my sanity

You don't agree

With how it should

You carry on as if I'm not as free

To do to you what you have done to me

Don't think you'll always have my sympathy

One day it'll be

Oh, your turn to be grateful

For the little I give in return

You couldn't have been clearer

Of your intentions when you let me burn

I bet you didn't think that I'd be stronger

When I did return

But I had to pay the favour back from the lessons

That I have learned

From you

The wreckage that you left when you made me

Fall for you without a guarantee

That you'd always be there to take care of me

Did you ever love me

We had no clue that it would burn right through

The passionate flame we had right from the cue

Was it fate that we were never meant to last

Oh, what a blast

Oh, your turn to be grateful

For the little I give in return

You couldn't have been clearer

Of your intentions when you let me burn

I bet you didn't think that I'd be stronger

When I did return

But I had to pay the favour back from the lessons

That I have learned

From you

Maybe it's all for the best

Loving you was just a test

I'll never figure out

How it fits in with the rest

I'll just have to make do

With my solitude

The last thing I'd want to do

Is hurt you the same way too

Oh, your turn to be grateful

For the little I give in return

You couldn't have been clearer

Of your intentions when you let me burn

I bet you didn't think that I'd be stronger

When I did return

But I had to pay the favour back from the lessons

That I have learned

From you
