[Verse 1] I'm not proud, I was wrong And the truth is hard to take I felt sure we had enough But our love went overboard Lifeboat lies lost at sea I've been trying to reach your shore Waves of doubt keep drowning me [Chorus 1] All the dreams that we were building We never fulfilled them Could be better, should be better Lessons in love [Verse 2] For restless eyes, egos burn And the mold is hard to break Now we've waded in too deep And love is overboard Heavy hearts, token words All the hopes I ever had Fade like footprints in the sand [Chorus 2] All the homes that we were building We never lived in Could be better, should be better Lessons in love If we lose the time before us The future will ignore us We should use it, we could use it, yeah Lessons in love You might also like Something About You Level 42 Stray Kids - 특 (S-Class) (Romanized) Genius Romanizations BTS - Take Two (Romanized) Genius Romanizations [Bridge] Lost without love Lessons in love When will you ever learn Lessons in love When there's nowhere left to turn Lessons in love Don't let your spirit burn Lessons in love I'll wait 'till you return [Chorus 1] All the dreams that we were building We never lived them We could use it, we should use it, yeah (Lessons in love) Lessons in love [Chorus 2] All the homes that we were building We never lived in Could be better, should be better Lessons in love If we lose the time before us The future will ignore us We should use it, we could use it, yeah Lessons in love
