Learn My Lesson
I
Am a wavering candle light
I remain but I’m ever slight
Through all my years
I sit
In my room in the fading light
Righting back all my wrongs tonight
'Cause I’m still here
.
Boarded up all the doors
And I swallowed all the keys
I’m still haunted by
All the things I’ll never be
.
To live
Is to learn
Oh the heart’s a heavy burden
So I take
I don’t wait
Nothing ever is for certain
And I hold my hands up high
knees tonightOn my
I’ll take
Won’t wait
I will live and learn my lesson here tonight
.
I
Never knew it could be so cold
But I burnt all the things I used to hold so dear
Still I fight
With my pen in my hand held tight
songs tonight 'cause I’m still hereWriting protest
.
Boarded up all the doors
And I swallowed all the keys
I’m still haunted by
All the things I’ll never be
.
To live
Is to learn
Oh the heart’s a heavy burden
So I take
I don’t wait
Nothing ever is for certain
And I hold my hands up high
On my knees tonight
I’ll take
Won’t wait
I will live and learn my lesson here tonight
.
I’ll get off my knees and fight
Kick down the doors let in the light tonight
Tonight
.
To live
Is to learn
Oh the heart’s a heavy burden
So I take
I don’t wait
Nothing ever is for certain
And I hold my hands up high
I’ll take
On my knees tonight
waitWon’t
I will live and learn my lesson here tonight
.
I will live and learn my lesson
