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 take)

I don't wait (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

Never knew it could be so cold

But I burnt all the things I used to hold so dear

Still I fight (I fight)

With my pen in my hand held tight (held high)

Writing protest songs 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 take)

I don't wait (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

Woah, woah



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 take)

I don't wait (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

Woah, woah



I will live and learn my lesson
