Lesson Lyrics

sinking while the ater rises in the stream
helpless as my indecision's drowning me
tripping over things that i should clearly see
speechless when a word would save me
it's words i fear

if i falter would you help me make it right
if i run for shelter will you hold me for the night
if i trust you will it help me see the light
i've lived my life alone
i've learned my lesson

reaching out to no one who can give me help
feeling for the candle as i burn myself

if i falter would you help me make it right
if i run for shelter will you hold me for the night
if i trust you will it help me see the light
i've lived my life alone
i've learned my lesson
i've learned my lesson

stop and overcompensate for all the times that you've been afaid
the world's become a conversation close the door somebody just might hear you
never break the silence
never break the law
never let them in
it seems so complicated
it's not all us and them

if i falter would you help me make it right
if i run for shelter will you hold me for the night
if i trust you will it help me see the light
i've lived my life alone
i've lived my life alone

if i falter would you help me make it right
if i run for shelter will you hold me for the night
if i love you will it help me see the light
i've lived my life alone
