Lessons

(album: Only Honest On The Weekend - 2021)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Another birthday
Alone again
Guess I forgot that I come second to your friends
Diamonds and flowers
Won't make it right
Turns out that money ain't as valuable as time

Oh, I used to stay up all night
Wondering what I did wrong
I nearly lost my mind
But it was you all along
Counting those the warning signs
Learning all of the things that I don't want
Now you're gone

'Cause every time you hurt me left me cold
Threw my broken heart against the wall
Every tear I'm crying
Has taught me what I know
So I thank you for the lessons

Thank you for the lessons, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thank you for the lessons, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You gave me hope
You said you'd changed
I can't believe that I believed you, what a shame
One day of silence
I knew what you'd done
You fucked your final chance with me just to fuck someone

Oh, I used to stay up all night
Wondering what I did wrong
I nearly lost my mind
But it was you all along
I could ruin your life, make you pay for the heartache you have caused
But I won't

'Cause every time you hurt me left me cold
Threw my broken heart against the wall
Every tear I'm crying
Has taught me what I know
So I thank you for the lessons

Thank you for the lessons, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thank you for the lessons, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thank you for the lessons, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thank you for the lessons, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, I used to stay up all night
Wondering what I did wrong
I nearly lost my mind
But it was you all along
Counting those the warning signs
Learning all of the things that I don't want
Now you're gone

'Cause every time you hurt me left me cold
Threw my broken heart against the wall
Every tear I'm crying
Has taught me what I know
So I thank you for the lessons

Thank you for the lessons, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I thank you for the lessons, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thank you for the lessons, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thank you for the lessons, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
