Lessons in the Fall

People don’t learn... they just let love go... Round and round... the same old show... Met her in the spring with a wildfire grin, Thought maybe this time I'd finally win. But mornings came cold, and truth bled through, I was holding on to someone I never knew. Now I'm staring down the same old fear, Hoping this time the lesson's near. People don’t learn, they just let love go, Round and round, the same old show. Dreams keep talking, hearts still shake, We trip on the same mistakes we make. Summer rolled in and she lit up the room, I swore this love could outrun the gloom. But time's a thief and a quiet hand, And what felt steady turned to sand. Told myself slow down, take it straight, But I always bend toward the same damn fate. People don’t learn, they just let love go, Round and round, the same old show. Dreams keep talking, hearts still shake, We trip on the same mistakes we make. Autumn winds blew through someone new, Different laugh but the same untruth. I held her close like a settling score, But the ending felt familiar as ever before. Maybe one day the fog will clear, And I'll stop chasing what disappears. People don’t learn, they just let love go, Round and round, the same old show. Dreams keep talking, hearts still shake, We trip on the same mistakes we make. Round and round… the same old fall… People don’t learn… they just lose it all…
