The Lesson

from LOVE. by The Yellow Hope Project

lyrics

In all the books, whose pages I have turned,
For all the lessons that I have learned.
The thing that I have been missing
Is this most important lesson.

And there's no shortcut.
There's no quick fix.
There's no mistaking, 'cause you can't fake it.
I have to learn how to forget you, so that my heart can stop breaking.
I have to learn how to forget you, so that my heart can stop breaking.

I've put this off for long enough.
Nothing to gain from more delaying.
I have to spend some time each and every day
Putting memories of you away.

And there's no shortcut.
There's no quick fix.
There's no mistaking, 'cause you can't fake it.
I have to learn how to forget you, so that my heart can stop breaking.
I have to learn how to forget you, so that my heart can stop breaking.
I have to learn how to forget you, so that my heart can stop breaking.
