lyrics

cut out again, if you get what you give
then i must make a pattern that's shaped like a wedge
you opened your door but did not say come in
you just stood there and looked and then shut it again
if you'd bothered to ask just how i've been
you'd have been blank at the answer that came from my lips
i'm so tired of this game that you play to win
i don't know your rules, frankly i never did

so i'm learning to let go
i'm learning to dream
i'm learning that no one
ever says what they mean
and i learned to love you
so i'll just learn to forget
and i'll let go of this anger
because baby, i know how to forgive

for the last several nights i've been having this dream
that it's autumn again and we're walking through leaves
and you open your mouth but i can't hear you speak
still i know what you're saying and i know how you feel
but i wake up alone - these windows face east
the world never cares when you're down on your knees
would you just give me something that i can believe
or if you still have to lie make it a good one at least

because i'm learning to let go
i'm learning to dream
i'm learning that no one
ever says what they mean
and i learned to love you
so i'll just learn to forget
and i'll let go of this anger
because baby, i know how to forgive
