Lesson Learned lyrics

Artist  : Ray Lamontagne 
Song : Lesson Learned
 
Well the truth it fell so heavy

Like a
hammer through the room

That I could choose
another over her

You always said I was an
actor, baby

Guess in truth you thought me
just amateur



That you never saw the
signs

That you never lost your grip

Oh, come on now

That's such a childish
claim

Now I wear the brand of traitor

Don't it seem a bit absurd

When it's
clear I was so obviously framed

When it's
clear I was so obviously framed



Now
you act so surprised

To hear what you
already know

And all you really had to do
was ask

I'd have told you straight away

All those lies were truth

And all that was
false was fact



Now you hold me close
and hard

But I was like a statue at
most

Refusing to acknowledge you'd been
hurt

Now you're clawing at my throat

And you're crying all is lost

But your
tears they felt so hot upon my shirt

But
your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt



Well the truth it fell so heavy

Like a hammer through the room

That I
could choose another over her

You always
said I was an actor, baby

Guess in truth
you thought me just amateur



Was it
you who told me once

Now looking back it
seems surreal

That all our mistakes are
merely grist for the mill

So why is it now
after I had my fill

would you steal from me
the sorrow that I've earned

Shall we call
this a lesson learned?

Shall we call this a
lesson learned?
