Lesson Learned
the anger that builds when i think of your lies
you will never again see a tear in my eyes
the pain that i felt with every game that you played
all the times my heart broke, all the promises you made
you never kept your word and so i had to leave
i can't believe i was so naive
i opened my heart and completely let you in
i guess in the end i was punished for my sin
knowing it wouldn't work yet still trying so hard
hoping one day you would let down your guard
but i was wrong in more ways than one
and it's finally over, it's said and done
i've learned my lesson and it won't happen again
thanks to you, i've lost faith in all men
maybe one day i'll be open for love
and finally get everything i dreamed of.
