The Lesson
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Many nights seem endless as
I lay awake
Cant stop thinking about
How to fix this mistake
Even though i never stopped
Looking for that fairy tale
Longing to grow closer yet
Every day the dream is drifting away
This is what theyd say
Theres a lesson to be learned
Pay attention and youll be glad
Young man youll always want
What you cannot have
Be everything to someone
Not something to everyone
Never settle for another lover but the one
Fall short and you just might be the lonely one
The grass is always greener, but its
Never green enough on your side
Cant be an accurate judge, if you
Havent taken out the time
This is my advice to you
They say an honest mans defeat
May often lie in his jealousy
From need to greed and on and on
It is so wrong well it is so wrong
That fire burning in your soul
Cant make weak or make you whole
And the meek believe the strong belong
It is so wrong, it is so wrong
