The best lesson to learn about love is the hardest one
The best lesson to learn about love you cannot outrun
People only have their kind of love for you
And that’s what you’ll keep getting’ even if you don’t want them to

Have you ever loved somebody so much that you lost yourself?
Have you ever loved somebody so much you couldn’t find yourself?
People do whatever works, if you don’t get it
You can never quite change what you never quite see. Can you see it?

We teach people how to treat us though we don’t think we do
We teach people how to treat us and that means you
What you can’t name you can’t change even if you wanted to
And that’s why the things you don’t like they just keep messin’ with you

Have you ever had the thought in your head that you’re all alone?
When in fact there were plenty to help, just not the ones at home
All you needed to do was call a friend or two
All you needed was to open the door and walk right through

Did you ever try to get what you want, but it took too long?
Did you ever try to learn something new, but it all felt wrong
Patience is a virtue, there’s no substitute
But the best course of action—get back in action—now it’s up to you

The best lesson to learn about love
The best lesson to learn about love
The best lesson to learn about love is all about…

It wasn’t what you thought it was
The one that mattered always was you
