Lessons Learned Lyrics

People say you're looking old
Was it since I left?
Was it since I went home?

And hey I hope you're doing well
Though I don't have the strength to tell you myself
'Cuz I'm searching for excuses
For why it wasn't your fault
And this isn't good for me
No no no, not at all


You see, I'm trying to save you
But I have to save me first
If there's a truth
There's a lesson I've learned
I don't wanna hurt you
But I have to be tough
If there's a truth
There's a lesson I've learned

You threw your love as a weapon of war
Cut down so deep
Left me asking for more
Does my shadow cover my withering bones?
It's my disguise and not for you
To leave me alone

'Cuz I'm searching for excuses
For why it wasn't your fault
And this isn't good for me
No no no, not at all

You see, I'm trying to save you
But I have to save me first
If there's a truth
There's a lesson I've learned
I don't wanna hurt you
But I have to be tough
If there's a truth
There's a lesson I've learned

And if I could
I would rescue us both
But you don't need me
And you don't need my help

'Cuz once I've told them
Your time is up
And though I can't bear you
Please don't give up

You see, I'm trying to save you
But I have to save me first
If there's a truth
There's a lesson I've learned
I don't wanna hurt you
But I have to be tough
If there's a truth
There's a lesson I've learned

If there's a truth
There's a lesson I've learned
