I’ve learnt this lesson before
I can’t believe I’m here again
I’d make life feel effortless
Like a game and not a chore
I’ve learnt this lesson before
I’ve learnt this lesson before
I blindly walked into a trap
Of my own making
I pushed open the door
I’ve learnt this lesson before
I’ve learnt this lesson so many times before
Pretending that I’m someone else
So terrified and full of fear
So deeply insecure
I’ve learnt this lesson before
I’ve learnt this lesson before
Living an authentic life
Being my own person
Not blaming anymore
I’ve learnt this lesson before
