Haven't Learned a Thing |
I have failed and I have fallen, cried till I was bawling |
Been down so low my face was on the tiles |
Where the cold against my lips, hollow like your kiss |
Was empty as a North Dakota mile |
I tried leaving without losing but the hardest part was choosing |
Which direction I would run when I was free |
And the only thing I’ve learned is that I haven’t learned a thing |
I’ve drank one too many glasses, I’ve been bruised and I’ve been battered |
By mistakes I never bothered to avoid |
And friends who tried to offer advice I never followed |
Grew tired of watching all that I’d destroyed |
So I faked my best foot forward, while sneaking backwards toward |
The center where the truth wouldn’t sting |
And the only thing I’ve learned is that I haven’t learned a thing |
We live we yearn we flame we burn we cry |
We crawl we run we reach to touch the sky |
And though our wings are made of wax |
We try to fly too close to the light |
Trying to get it right |
You stood there like a stoic and I felt so claustrophobic |
Wishing you’d give me a reason not to leave |
Your silence closed in tighter and I felt like an outsider |
In the home that was my haven all those years |
But I knew that I was certain, like the dropping of a curtain |
When I saw you’d taken off that ring |
Guess the only thing I’ve learned is that I haven’t learned a thing |
I have failed and I have fallen, cried till I was crawling |
Been running for so long that I believed |
That the thin ice where I landed was steadier than where I’d been |
And now I’m not sure what’s in front of me |
But in the falling and the flying and the living and the dying |
Is how we carve our names inside this dream |
The only thing I’ve learned is that I haven’t learned a thing |
Maybe the only thing to learn is that you never learn a thing |
