The Lesson Songtext
von Lucy Spraggan

I remember I was five years old
Leaves were fallin′ in the street
I was pedalin' when you let go
And you were runnin′ after me
Said you need to slow down, darlin'
Think about it first
'Cause when you fall too fast
It′s gonna hurt

You told me to dream
You told me to love
You told me to say it′s never over 'til it′s done
You told me to laugh
You told me to cry
Told me that everythin' is gonna be alright
But the only thing that you forgot to do
Is teach me how to live without you


I remember bein′ sweet 16
Came home with a broken heart
And you just wrapped your arms around me
And you let me fall apart
Said you need to slow down, darlin'
Think about it first
′Cause when you fall too fast
It's gonna hurt

You told me to dream
You told me to love
You told me to say it's never over ′til it′s done
You told me to laugh
Told me to cry
Told me that everythin' is gonna be alright
But the only thing that you forgot to do
Is teach me how to live without you

And now I′m walkin' down the aisle
On a nearly perfect day
I turn around and see an empty chair
And I wonder if you′d say, "Slow down, darlin'"
I promise you can do this
I might not be by your side
But I′m gonna walk you through it


You told me to dream
You told me to love
You told me to say it's never over 'til it′s done
You told me to laugh
You told me to cry
Told me that everythin′ is gonna be alright
Oh, everythin' is gonna be alright
But the only thing that you forgot to do
Is teach me how to live without you
