The Hardest Lessons Songtext
von Chris Shiflett

Well I′ve always been a malcontent
Never real good at taking compliments
With one foot in my mouth, I apologize
And I'll never forget my last drink
Elevator going up but I was sinking
From the 25th floor all I wanted to do was fly

Well I′ve never been happier than walking away
I'll get to where I'm going someday
And if I don′t at least I′ll keep you guessing
Ya I've never been better than being alone
Every mistake I make is my own
′Cause some people only learn the hardest lessons


Y'know I got three boys and a minivan
Some days I forget who I am
And when I′m lost, I lead myself astray
25 years out on the road
Lost a few good friends and some I didn't know
And here I am, dancing on their graves

Well think about, baby, what you really want
Has it ever been good enough?
And pardon me all my indiscretions
But when you add it all up now in the end
I hope you′ll take me back again
'Cause some people only learn the hardest lessons

Well think about, baby, what you really want
Hooo, is it good enough?
And pardon me all my indiscretions
But when you add it all up now in the end
I hope you'll take me back again
′Cause some people only learn the hardest lessons
Yeah, some people only learn the hardest lessons
