I'm not proud, I was wrong and the truth is hard to take   I felt sure we had enough but our love went overboard   Lifeboat lies, lost at sea, I've been trying to reach your shore   Waves of doubt keep drowning me      All the dreams that we were building, we never fulfilled them   Could be better, should be better, oh, lessons in love      For restless eyes egos burn and the mold is hard to break   Now we've waded in too deep and love is overboard   Heavy hearts, token words, all the hopes I ever had   Fade like footprints in the sand      All the homes that we were building, we never lived in   Could be better, should be better, lessons in love   If we lose the time before us, the future will ignore us   We should use it, we could use it, yeah, lessons in love      Lost without love   Lessons in love, when will you ever learn   Lessons in love, when there's nowhere left to turn   Lessons in love, don't let your spirit burn   Lessons in love, I'll wait till you return      All the dreams that we were building (yeah yeah yeah), we never lived them   We could lose it, we should use it (lessons in love), lessons in love   All the homes that we were building, we never lived in   Could be better (could be better), should be better (yeah), lessons in love   If we lose the time before us, the future will ignore us   We should use it, we could use it (good God), lessons in love
