is the lesson ever really learnt?

(not my own work)

"I remember years ago, Someone told me I should take, Caution when it comes to love, I did... And you were strong and I was not, My illusion, my mistake, I was careless, I forgot, I did. And now when all is done, There is nothing to say, You have gone and so effortlessly, You have won. You can go ahead, tell them, Tell them all I know now, Shout it from the roof tops, Write it on the sky line, All we had is gone now. Tell them I was happy, And my heart is broken, All my scars are open, Tell them what I hoped would be Impossible... Falling out of love is hard, Falling for betrayal is worst, Broken trust and broken hearts, I know... Thinking all you need is there, Building faith on love and words, Empty promises will wear, I know. And now when all is gone, There is nothing to say, And if you're done with embarrassing me, On your own you can go ahead, tell them..."

"Your heart is not open so I must go
The spell has been broken, I loved you so
Freedom comes when you learn to let go
Creation comes when you learn to say no

You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress you had to burn
Pain is a warning that something's wrong
I pray to God that it won't be long
Do ya wanna go higher?

There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power
Than the power of good-bye

I have to learn to say good-bye."
