Learn My Lesson

I am a wavering candle light

I remain but i'm ever slight

Through all my years

I sit

In my room in the fading light

Righting back all my wrongs tonight

Cos i'm still here

Boarded up all the doors

And i swallowed all the keys

I'm still haunted by

All the things i'll never be

To live

Is to learn

Oh the heart's a heavy burden

So i take

I don't wait

Nothing ever is for certain

And i hold my hands up high

On my knees tonight

I'll take

Won't wait

I will live and learn my lesson here tonight

I never knew it could be so cold

But i burnt all the things i used to hold so dear

Still i fight

With my pen in my hand held tight

Writing protest songs tonight cos i'm still here

Boarded up all the doors

And i swallowed all the keys

I'm still haunted by

All the things i'll never be

To live

Is to learn

Oh the heart's a heavy burden

So i take

I don't wait

Nothing ever is for certain

And i hold my hands up high

On my knees tonight

I'll take

Won't wait

I will live and learn my lesson here tonight

I'll get off my knees and fight

Kick down the doors let in the light tonight

Tonight
