"A Lesson I Never Learned" lyrics

Was it just too much to ask for?
That I might get this right the first time
If you'd have asked then I'd have sworn
But I'm not so famous for my clear eye
When I look back on this in due course
Maybe I'll find it's aged like fine wine
Or will it turn out to have been cut?
And you were only being nice
Alright

You don't have to be a lesson that I never learn
You don't have to be a lesson that I never learn
You don't have to be a lesson that I never learn
The idea that you're lost on me is that saddest thing I've ever heard

Though I'm not looking to confront this
Always just trying to take my phone out
And look up something to distract me
For once, can I be present now?

You don't have to be a lesson that I never learn
You don't have to be a lesson that I never learn
You don't have to be a lesson that I never learn
The idea that you're lost on me is that saddest thing I've ever heard
You don't have to be a lesson that I never learn
You don't have to be a lesson that I never learn
You don't have to be a lesson that I never learn
The idea that you're lost on me is that saddest thing I've ever heard
