Learn My Lesson Lyrics - Bones - Young Guns

I am a wavering candle light 

I remain but I'm ever slight 

Through all my years 

I sit, in my room in the fading light 

Righting back all my wrongs tonight 

'Cause I'm still here 

Boarded up all the doors 

And I swallowed all the keys 

I'm still haunted by 

All the things I'll never be 

To live 

Is to learn 

Oh the heart's a heavy burden 

So I take (I take) 

I don't wait (don't wait) 

Nothing ever is for certain 

And I hold my hands up high 

On my knees tonight 

I'll take 

Won't wait 

I will live and learn my lesson here tonight 

I, never knew it could be so cold 

But I burnt all the things I used to hold so dear 

Still I fight (I fight) 

With my pen in my hand held tight (held high) 

Writing protest songs tonight 

'Cause I'm still here 

Boarded up all the doors 

And I swallowed all the keys 

I'm still haunted by 

All the things I'll never be 

To live 

Is to learn 

Oh the heart's a heavy burden 

So I take (I take) 

I don't wait (don't wait) 

Nothing ever is for certain 

And I hold my hands up high 

On my knees tonight 

I'll take 

Won't wait 

I will live and learn my lesson here tonight 

Whoa, whoa 

I'll get off my knees and fight 

Kick down the doors let in the light tonight 

Tonight 

To live 

Is to learn 

Oh the heart's a heavy burden 

So I take (I take) 

I don't wait (don't wait) 

Nothing ever is for certain 

And I hold my hands up high 

On my knees tonight 

I'll take 

Won't wait 

I will live and learn my lesson here tonight 

Whoa, whoa 

I will live and learn my lesson
