(Verse 1) You said forever with a careless smile Like forever only lasted for a little while I gave you every piece I had to give While you forgot how love was supposed to live You heard my tears but not my voice Turned every promise into just a choice I kept believing you’d come around But all I found was silence now (Pre-Chorus) Maybe one day you’ll look behind And see the heart you left behind (Chorus) I wish you learned How to hold somebody close Before you let them go Like they never meant the most I wish you learned That sorry can’t erase The memories you break Or the tears you never faced Now the pages have all turned And I’m the lesson that you burned I loved you more than words deserved I just wish… You learned (Verse 2) I don’t hate you, that’s the truth I just miss the version I once knew The one who laughed until sunrise Before goodbye lived in your eyes Now your shadow passes through my mind Like an old song stuck in rewind Some nights I wonder if you know How much it hurt to let you go (Bridge) Maybe someone else will teach you Everything I tried to say Maybe you’ll remember my name When your heart breaks the same way I don’t pray you’ll feel my pain I just hope you finally change (Final Chorus) I wish you learned Love is fragile in your hands It isn’t built on empty plans Or leaving when it gets too hard I wish you learned Hearts don’t heal overnight They carry every lonely night Every scar beneath the stars Now I’m finally moving on Even though it took so long And if someday your tears return… I hope you’ve learned. (Outro) You lost someone who would’ve stayed… I lost someone who never learned.
