Lyrics

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 tryin' 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
Lessons in love
Four restless eyes, egos burn
And the mood is hard to break
Now we've waded in too deep
A love that's 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 live 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 'til you return
All the dreams that we were building (yeah, yeah)
We never lived them
Could be better (could be better)
Should be better (should be better)
Lessons in love (lessons in love)
All those plans that we were making
As for the taking
We could lose it, we should use it
(Lessons in love) lessons in love
All the homes that we were building
We never lived it
Could be better (could be better), should be better (yeah)
Lessons in love
If we lose the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it
(Could come) lesson in love
Lessons in love
When will we ever learn?
Lessons in love
I'll wait 'til you return
Lessons in love
Lessons in love
Lessons in love
