She needed to believe his reasons
And when she couldn't believe, she cried
She was so young and he rode in
On the dream of her teenage nights
But with a string of white lies behind him
The end of a dream was clear
There'd come a day she would awake
Wise beyond the tears
[Chorus]
She learns from her mistakes
That's what mistakes are for
She rolls with her heartaches
They don't rock her like before
Everyday she's twice as strong matter every year
She'll cry soon but she'll go on
Wise beyond the tears
It hurts when they separated
She was borderline blue sometimes
When he would phone and say he was wrong
She was way beyond borderline
But actions are louder than whispers
And only fools would deny what they hear
So one last time she cut off the line
Wise beyond the tears
