[Verse]

I spent all my time with it under my fingers

Each key had a letter

I played them together

And let the chord linger

I learned it by ear and by trial and error

When no one's beside you, you have to try to become your own teacher

But of course I was doing it wrong

Missing it all along

[Chorus]

I'm unlearning

All the things I thought I knew

I'm unlearning

All the things I thought were true

[Verse]

I had to grow up, I had to be ready

All my answers in order

Act like I'm older

To provе that I'm steady

Do two things at once with the feel of a promisе

Two pigtails in one with the feel of a promise (?)

To know more than I know, on days that I don't

I hope they won't notice

[Chorus]

I'm unlearning

All the things I thought I knew

I'm unlearning

All the things I thought were true

[Bridge]

I misstep on most days

But I'm still moving forward

When I take the long way

I'm still moving forward

When I take the long way

I'm still moving forward

[Chorus 2]

I'm unlearning

All the things I thought I knew

And now I'm learning

That to get to the truth

Oh, I might have to lose

All I ever thought was true
