Daughtry - Learn My Lesson

Tonight the sun set means so much
 The one thing that you know you never touch
 Like the feeling
 The real thing, I reach out for the sweet dream
 But somehow the darkness wakes me up
 And I felt this emptiness before
 But all the times I've been broken
 I still run right back for more

You'd think I'd learned my lesson by now
 You'd think I'd somehow figure out
 That if you strike the match you're bound to feel the flame
 You'd think 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

Sometimes I think I'm better off
 Turn out the light and close up shop
 And give up the longing, believing and belonging
 Just hold down my head and take the loss

 You'd think I'd learned my lesson by now
 You'd think I'd somehow figure out
 That if you strike the match you're bound to feel the flame
 You'd think 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
