You Live And You Learn

(album: They Never Leave Their Wives - 2020)

He was like a perfect storm
Just cold enough to keep me warm
He woke me like the light of day
And broke everything in his way
Have you ever been so starved by love
That you become delusional?
Everyone said I should run
But I was stuck, my heart was dumb

But you live and you learn
At that time it was my turn
But no one is worth losing yourself
Take it from me

He always had a childlike aim
And never meant to cause me pain
No he didn't want to hurt a soul
At one point that excuse gets old
Three years waiting in distress
And Christmas in my favourite dress
He didn't say much, so I guessed
And then he left me there to clean his mess

Yeah you live and you learn
At that time it was my turn
But no one is worth losing yourself
Just take it from me

By the skin of my teeth
I got back on my feet
And it wasn't pretty but I was proud
Because I got out

Yeah I got out
I got out
I got out
I got out
Woah...

I guess you live and you learn
At that point it was my turn
But no man is worth losing yourself
Take it from me
