Lesson Learned Lyrics - My Old Familiar Friend - Brendan Benson

Forget what you see 

And what you thought was true 

It's not really me 

Speaking to you 

Forget how you feel 

Forget all your dreams 

'Cause nothing is real 

It's not how it seems 

Forget what you've heard 

And all that was said 

The lines get blurred 

It's all in your head 

Forget what is right 

Forget who you are 

When you see the light 

It's no longer a star 

And we'll chalk it up to a lesson learned 

And hopefully by now your senses have returned 

And I guess it's back to the drawing board 

To reevaluate the situation and put strength to complication 

And to wait for sanity to be restored 

Forget what you see 

And what you think is true 

It's not really me 

Speaking to you 

And we'll chalk it up to a lesson learned 

And hopefully by now your senses have returned 

And I guess it's back to the drawing board 

To recreate the conversation with no lack of communication 

It can't wait anymore for sanity to be restored
