lessons Lyrics

You hate when I get distant

The way I look out the window

Lost in a sea clouds

Seeking the solace of a moment

I'm running from you

In the same way that I run from everything

The trees fade into a rain spattered window

You melt into the background

I don't know if you know that I wasn't built for love

Affection is a double-edged blade

The pain I feel makes pain in you

It's true, the closer that we get

The further I feel from you

It's unbearable, the weight of causing pain

I'd rather you hurt me than I hurt you

I'll run away again if I have to

It hurts me that I had to come back

And it hurts you that I'm leaving yet again

Lessons never learned

I don't know if you know that I wasn't built for love

Affection is a double-edged blade

The pain I feel makes pain in you

It's true, the closer that we get

The further I feel from you

It's unbearable, the weight of causing pain

I'd rather you hurt me than I hurt you
