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, oh, 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 (yeah yeah yeah), 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 (yeah), 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
