the more we try

some lessons are forever

never need to change

write and the word is written

then we turn the page

but some lessons take forever

time and time again

caught in a battle that you can't surrender

and can never win

you tried to make me the boy of your dreams

the ones that you never could find

you thought you saw your face in mine

the more we try

the more we just get lonely

though you've shown me how

the things you say are true

the lesson learned

is no concern

if you don't even know me

to need love is all i really learned from you

the more we try

the more we just get lonely

though you've shown me how

the things you say are true

the lessons learned

are no concern

cause you don't even know me

sure you've done what you can do

but when all our time is through

to be loved is all i ever needed of you
