Lesson Learned

Well the truth it fell so heavy

Like a hammer through the room

That I could choose another over her

You always said I was an actor, baby

Guess in truth you thought me just amateur

That you never saw the signs

That you never lost your grip

Oh, come on now

That's such a childish claim

Now I wear the brand of traitor

Don't it seem a bit absurd

When it's clear I was so obviously framed

When it's clear I was so obviously framed

Now you act so surprised

To hear what you already know

And all you really had to do was ask

I'd have told you straight away

All those lies were truth

And all that was false was fact

Now you hold me close and hard

But I was like a statue at most

Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt

Now you're clawing at my throat

And you're crying all is lost

But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt

But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt

Well the truth it fell so heavy

Like a hammer through the room

That I could choose another over her

You always said I was an actor, baby

Guess in truth you thought me just amateur

Was it you who told me once

Now looking back it seems so real

That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill

So why is it now after I had my fill

That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned

Shall we call this a lesson learned?
