Lyrics The Hardest Lessons - Chris Shiflett

The Hardest Lessons

Well, I’ve always been a malcontent
Never real good at takin' compliments
With one foot in my mouth, I apologize
And I never forget my last drink
Elevator goin' up but I was sinkin'
From the 25th floor, all I wanted to do was fly
Well, I’ve never been happier than walkin' away
I’ll get to where I’m goin' someday
And I don’t, at least I’ll keep you guessin'
Yeah, I’ve never been better than bein' alone
Every mistake I make is my own
'Cause some people only learn the hardest lessons
You know I got three boys and a minivan
Some days I forget who I am
And when I’m lost, I lead myself astray
25 years out on the road
Lost a few good friends and some I didn’t know
And here I am, dancin' on their graves
Well, think about baby what you really want
Has it ever been good enough?
And pardon me, all my indiscretions
But when you add it all up now in the end
I hope you’ll take me back again
'Cause some people only learn the hardest lessons
Well, think about baby what you really want
Oh, is it good enough?
And pardon me, all my indiscretions
But when you add it all up now in the end
I hope you’ll take me back again
'Cause some people only learn the hardest lessons
Yeah, some people only learn the hardest lessons
