lessons learned


You made my real seem fictional

So why did you choose to leave me?

You made me believe in the typical

So why did you choose to leave me?

 

You had adventures with others but none like ours

If given another chance you wouldn't have changed

You let me believe in the shooting stars

In the end it all felt arranged

 

The one true tragic love story was always held in your heart

If only you hadn't been lead astray

If only we had not grown apart

Then maybe you wouldn't have been turn to prey

 

I’ve learned where to go to receive better love

I guess we all have to grow-up

If you wish to dig up the past, then wear gloves

But don't worry I learned from you not be setup
