Lessons Learned - Still Living

Take me out of your doorway

And put me some place where

I can stand up straight

I watched the time fly by

You left without saying a word

Don’t expect to get much back from the lessons I have learned

I’m counting all the streets

I have no urge to visit

Don’t bother glancing at me

You know it won’t be worth it

I’m on the edge with everything

You’ve said what you’ve had to say

So keep your distance

We’ll go our own ways

Pretend

I never heard a single word

You said behind my back

I’ve let it pass

There’s a dying place for you buried in my chest

Please do your best

To never take my breath again

I watched the time fly by

You left without saying a word

Don’t expect to get much back from the lessons I have learned

I’m counting all the streets

I have no urge to visit

Don’t bother glancing at me

You know it won’t be worth it

I’m barely, barely believing

That you’re leaving

I spent all my time

Daydreaming

That there was something

When there was nothing

Nothing at all

I watched the time fly by

You left without saying a word

Don’t expect to get much back from the lessons I have learned

I’m counting all the streets

I have no urge to visit

Don’t bother glancing at me
