[Verse 1]

Tonight the sunset means so much

The one thing that you know, you'll never touch

Like the feeling, the real thing

I reach out for that sweet dream

But somehow the darkness wakes me up

And I've felt this emptiness before

But all the times that I've been broken

I still run right back for more


[Chorus 1]

You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now

You'd think that I'd somehow figure out

That if you strike the match

You're bound to feel the flame


[Chorus 2]

You think that I'd learn the cost of love

Paid that price long enough

But still I drive myself right through the pain

Yeah, well it turns out, I haven't learned a thing


[Verse 2]

Sometimes I think I'm better off

To turn out the lights and close up shop

And give up the longing, believing in belonging

Just hold down my head and take the loss


[Chorus 1]

You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now

You'd think that I'd somehow figure out

That if you strike the match

You're bound to feel the flame


[Chorus 2]

You think that I'd learn the cost of love

Paid that price long enough

But still I drive myself right through the pain

Yeah, well it turns out, I haven't learned a thing


[Chorus 1]

You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now

You'd think that I'd somehow figure out

That if you strike that match

You're bound to feel the flame


[Chorus 2]

You think that I'd learn the cost of love

Paid that price long enough

But still I drive myself right through the pain

Yeah, well it turns out, I haven't learned a thing


[Chorus 1]

You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now

You'd think that I'd somehow figure out

I haven't learned a thing

I haven't learned, I haven't learned

I haven't learned a thing
