I'm not proud, I was wrong

and the truth is hard to take

I felt sure we had enough

but our love went overboard

Lifeboat lies lost at sea

I've been tryin'

to reach your shore

waves of doubt

keep drownin' me

All the dreams

that we were buildin'

we never fulfilled them

could be better

should be better

for lessons in love

For restless eyes, egos burn

and the mould

is hard to break

now we've waded in too deep

and love is overboard

Heavy hearts, token words

all the hopes I ever had

fade like

footprints in the sand

All the homes

that we were buildin'

we never lived in

could be better

should be better

lessons in love

If we lose the time before us

the future will ignore us

we should use it

we could use it

yeah, lessons in love

Lost without love...

lessons in love

when will you ever learn

lessons in love

when there's

nowhere left to turn

Lessons in love

don't let your spirit burn

lessons in love

I'll wait 'til you return

All the dreams

that we were buildin', yeah...

we never lived them

we could lose it

we should use it

lessons in love

All the homes

that we were buildin'

we never lived in

could be better

should be better

yeah, lessons in love

If we lose the time before us

the future will ignore us

we should use it

we could use it, good God!

Lessons in love
