Lesson Learned

I felt the ground shake,
Felt my heart break;
When you walked away, you stole
My world, my heart...my very soul.

I had thought that you were sent from above,
Because you taught me how to love;
But I should have known better than to believe in fate...
Because you also taught me how to hate.

In the end...I tried and you didn't.
And in the end, I cried and you wouldn't.
Chalk it up to one more lesson learned...
Another time that I've been burned.

Never thought that things would unravel like this,
But you've left me here, aching for your very kiss.
Maybe I should have known better than to fall,
But when I gave you my heart, I gave you my all.

And I guess the lion really knew best,
When he said there was an icebox in your chest...
And maybe, had I listened, I wouldn't be
Standing here in the mess you made of me.
