HARD MAGIC – “Lessons In Love (The Messenger)” – Lyrics
I needed this
About as much as a slap in my face
But now it’s done, it’s over
I’ll probably get over it
Oh, but you, you gave me this
Like a test of my faith, it was cruel it’s harsh
I never asked for it
You know I never asked for it
Someday I’ll realize why it hurts so much
Tell me how come it feels this way
Oh, I want to make you pay (want to make you pay)
Oh, but you, you sent me this
Like a test of my faith, it was cruel it’s harsh
I never asked for it
You know I never asked for it
Oh, but until then I’ve learned my lessons in love
Don’t you listen to the man that says love is grand
‘Cause I guarantee you, no he doesn’t understand
He doesn’t understand
I can’t keep on living like an animal
I’m in the middle of your madness
I don’t know right from wrong
(Don’t know, right from wrong)
Oh, but you, you gave me this
Like a test of my faith, it was cruel it’s harsh
I never asked for it
You know I never asked for it
Oh, but until then I’ve learned my lessons in love
Don’t you listen to the man that says love is grand
‘Cause I guarantee you, no he doesn’t understand
He doesn’t understand
I’m going to leave and I won’t look back
For a second time, I’ll only remember the mistakes I made
And the look on your face at the end of the race (end of the race)
But you, you sent me this like a test of my faith
It was cruel, it’s harsh
I never asked for it
You know, I never asked for it
But until then I’ve learned my lessons in love
Don’t you listen to the man that says love is grand
‘Cause I guarantee you, no he doesn’t understand
He doesn’t understand
Pain is to love
As tears is to heartache
As love is to rejection
As old is to tired
As young is to pleasure
As I want it all
As I
Want
It
All
But you, you sent me this like a test of my faith
It was cruel, it’s harsh
I never asked for it
You know I never asked for it
Oh, but until then
I’ve learned my lessons in love
Don’t you listen to the man that says love is grand
‘Cause I guarantee you, no he doesn’t understand
But, until then I’ve learned my lessons n love
But, until then I’ve learned my lessons in love
But, until then
Until then
