Lessons Learned

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
