Lesson Learned

[Instrumental Intro]

[Refrain]

Well, the truth, it fell so heavy

Like a hammer through the room

That I could choose another over her

You always said I was an actor, baby

Guess in truth you thought me just amateur

[Verse 1]

That you never saw the signs, that you never lost your grip

Oh, come on now, that's such a childish claim

Now I wear the brand of traitor, don't it seem a bit absurd?

When it's clear I was so obviously framed

When it's clear I was so obviously framed

[Verse 2]

And now you act so surprised to hear what you already know

And all you really had to do was ask

I'd have told you straight away, all those lies were truth

And all that was false was fact

Now you hold me close and hard, but I was like a statue at most

Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt

Now you're clawing at my throat and you're crying, "All is lost"

But your tears they fell so hot upon my shirt

But your tears they fell so hot upon my shirt

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]

Well, the truth it fell so heavy

Like a hammer through the room

That I could choose another over her

You always said I was an actor, baby

Guess in truth you thought me just an amateur

[Verse 3]

Was it you who told me once?

Now looking back it seems so real

That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill

So, why is it now, after I've had my fill

That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned?

Shall we call this a lesson learned?

Shall we call this a lesson learned?
