I'm not proud, I was wrong

and the truth is hard to take

I felt sure we had enough

but our love went overboard

lifeboat lies lost at sea

I've been trying to reach your shore

waves of doubt keep drowning me



All the dreams that we were building

we never fulfilled them

could be better, should be better

for lessons in love



For restless eyes egos burn

and the mold is hard to break

now we've waded in too deep

and love is overboard

heavy hearts token words

all the hopes I ever had

fade like footprints in the sand



All the homes that we were building

we never lived in

could be better, should be better

lessons in love

if we lose the time before us

the future will ignore us

we should use it, we could use it, yeah

lessons in love

lost without love



Lessons in love

when will you ever learn

lessons in love

when there's nowhere left to turn

lessons in love

don't let your spirit burn

lessons in love

I'll wait 'till you return



All the dreams that we were building

we never lived them

we could lose it, we should use it

(lessons in love) lessons in love

all the homes that we were building

we never lived in

could be better (could be better), should be better

lessons in love

if we lose the time before us

the future will ignore us

we should use it, we could use it (good god)

lessons in love
