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
