[Verse]
Some lessons are forever
And never need to change
Write and the word is written
Then we turn the page
But some lessons take forever
Time and time again
Caught in a battle that you can't surrender
And can never win

[Bridge]
You tried to make me the girl of your dreams
The one that you never could find
You thought you saw her face in mine

[Chorus]
The more we try
The more we just get lonely
Though you've shown me how
The things you say are true
The lesson learned is no concern
'Cause you don't even know me
To need love is all
I really learned from you

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
The more we try
The more we just get lonely
Though you've shown me how
The things you say are true
The lesson learned is no concern
'Cause you don't even know me
Sure, you've done what you can do
But when all our time is through
To be loved is all I ever needed of you
