What Have You Learned?

What have you learned, can you remember?

What would you like for me to do?

Everything you need from me is in your hands

And everything else is up to you

You’re like a butterfly on a windy day

You use directions in a roundabout way

What have you learned,

Now that you’ve been burned

By the guy who used to be the center of your eye

And you’re blown away by your own hurricane

And you wonder why

Cast away and you’re looking through the wreckage for your pride,

But you can’t salvage what you don’t supply

What have you learned,

Now that you’ve been burned

By the girl who used to be the center of your world

Who used to be your center of gravity

And now you’re so unsure

You’re like a squirrel out in the middle of the road

You’re halfway there but don’t know which way to go

What have you learned

Now that you’ve been burned

By the one who used to be the one and only

If you could see your sinking dignity

You’re like the waves beating on the sandy shore

You swear you’ve been there once or twice before

What have you learned?

What have you learned?

What have you learned?

What have you learned, can you remember?

Now that they don’t know what to do

Now that they miss your heart of gold so badly

This is what I’d say if I were you

It’s in a treasure chest that’s buried in the sand

But the “x” does not mark the spot and I do not need a hand

And if I burst out into flames without your guidance anymore

Just scatter me across the sea and you can kiss my ashes from the shore
