Haven't Learned A Thing Lyrics - Singles - Amy Speace

I have failed and I have fallen, cried till I was bawling 

Been down so low my face was on the tiles 

Where the cold against my lips, hollow like your kiss 

Was empty as a North Dakota mile 

I tried leaving without losing but the hardest part was choosing 

Which direction I would run when I was free 

And the only thing I've learned is that I haven't learned a thing 

I've drank one too many glasses, I've been bruised and I've been battered 

By mistakes I never bothered to avoid 

And friends who tried to offer advice I didn't follow 

Grew tired of watching all that I destroyed 

So I faked my best foot forward, while sneaking backwards toward 

The center where the truth wouldn't sting 

And the only thing I've learned is that I haven't learned a thing 

We live we yearn we flame we burn we cry 

We crawl we run we reach to touch the sky 

And though our wings are made of wax 

We try to fly too close to the light 

Trying to get it right (First Chorus) 

Just to get it right (Second Chorus) 

You stood there like a stoic, made me feel so claustrophobic 

Wishing you'd give me a reason not to leave 

And the walls closed in tighter, I felt like an outsider 

In the home that was my haven all those years 

But I knew that I was certain, like the dropping of a curtain, 

When I saw you'd taken off that ring 

You see, the only thing I've learned is that I haven't learned a thing
