The Hardest Lesson Learned Lyrics

I took your advice

Went out on my own

To try to find someone

Who could make me feel more whole than you could

It didn't work

In fact, it felt better with you

Even at our worst

To do it over and unlearn

I've had enough to be honest

Don't want a big magic moment

No making out in the rain

I'll skip the fairy-tale ending

The dreamy nights and hand holding

I've done all of it before

Now all of it is a bore

You thought it'd be better to just walk away

I pleaded and argued

"There's gotta be another way"

But you won like you always do

Except this time it meant no more you

Said, "Find someone new"

But it's not that easy because you're the only you

I've had enough to be honest

Don't want a big magic moment

No making out in the rain

I'll skip the fairy-tale ending and pillow talk in the morning

I've done all of it before

Now all of it is a bore

I'm only pointed in your direction

You'll soon replace me with somebody else

You deleted me from existence

Wiped every trace of me from your heart

But I'm the only me

And you're the only you

I'm still the only me

You're still the only you

Nothing turned out as promised

So now I seek something karmic

A flicker, a passing wave

I'd rather go down a martyr than relive my greatest blunder

To let love in then get burned

The hardest lesson learned

The hardest lesson learned

To let love in then get burned

The hardest lesson learned
