Lesson in Romance

Lyrics

[Intro – Soft female voice] Ohhh… yeah… Mmmh… ahhh… I gave you my heart… You gave me goodbye… [Verse 1] I was the girl who stood by your side, When you had nothing, I held you tight. I gave you love, I gave you trust, But you turned our forever into dust. Your mother said I wasn’t enough, You chose your money over our love. I cried alone in the pouring rain, But every tear washed away my pain. [Pre-Chorus] You thought I’d fall, You thought I’d break, But you didn’t know How much I’d take. [Chorus] You lost me when you let me go, When I was the one who loved you most. I bent, I broke, then found my feet, Now I’m the one you’ll never reach. You lost me, and I won’t return, Some bridges fall and never burn. You had my heart, you had your chance, Now you’re just a lesson in romance. [Verse 2] I packed your letters in a paper sack, Left that old blue sweater folded flat. The kitchen clock still runs too fast, But I don’t wait for you to come back. I learned to sleep with the window wide, To let the morning come inside. I’m not the girl who begs you to stay, I’m finding my voice, day by day. [Pre-Chorus] You thought I’d fall, You thought I’d break, But you didn’t know How much I’d take. [Chorus] You lost me when you let me go, When I was the one who loved you most. I bent, I broke, then found my feet, Now I’m the one you’ll never reach. You lost me, and I won’t return, Some bridges fall and never burn. You had my heart, you had your chance, Now you’re just a lesson in romance. [Bridge] Maybe someday you’ll understand What you threw away with your own two hands. But I won’t turn around to see— The woman I am belongs to me. [Final Chorus] You lost me when you let me go, When I was the one who loved you most. I bent, I broke, then found my feet, Now I’m the one you’ll never reach. You lost me, and I won’t return, Some bridges fall and never burn. You had my heart, you had your chance, Now you’re just a lesson in romance. [Outro] Ohhh… you lost me… Mmmh… goodbye…
