I loved I lost I swung I missed And still kept playing You stole my heart And by default You're still standing And you can pat me on my back And send me on my way You'll see me smile But all the while I'm torn up
And I don't wish you pain (pain) But I don't wish you well (well) 'Cause you deserve the reign (reign) To see how it fails
When you learn how to love You're gonna cry for me But it's gonna be too late It's gonna be too late When you learn how to love You're gonna breathe for me But it's gonna be too late It's gonna be too late When you learn how to love
You knew me well But still it felt You were my stranger My tears you swam across To let me down And through the fog I thought I saw your helping hand But my eyes were closed And it felt a broken heart
And I don't wish you pain (pain) But I don't wish you well (well) 'Cause you deserve the reign (reign) To see how it fails
When you learn how to love You're gonna cry for me But it's gonna be too late It's gonna be too late When you learn how to love You're gonna breathe for me But it's gonna be too late It's gonna be too late When you learn how to love
All you might have loved You'll never know till it's gone So far baby now Now all you got is your Tear drops on your needy heart So cry for me
When you learn how to love You're gonna cry for me But it's gonna be too late It's gonna be too late When you learn how to love You're gonna breathe for me But it's gonna be too late It's gonna be too late When you learn how to love
