Met a man at the station
He stopped me from throwing myself on the tracks
He said son, "It ain't always a woman
that makes a man stab himself in the back"
Your wounds will heal,You gotta give it time
And all the hurt that you feel
Is just like mine

I've learned my lesson
Been down that road before
I've learned my lesson
And the message is you'll never fly
'Til you learn how to fall

It seemed to me there was a ring of truth
In what the old man said
jump back take a look at your life
You learn a lot about living when you're on the edge
Your wounds will heal,you gotta give it time
And though your troubles may be real
it's just a state of mind

I've learned my lesson
Been down that road before
I've learned my lesson
And the message is you'll never fly
'Til you learn how to fall


Your wounds will heal,you gotta give it time
And though your troubles may be real
It's just a state of mind

I've learned my lesson
Been down that road before
I've learned my lesson
And the message is you'll never fly
'Til you learn how to fall
I've learned my lesson
And the message is you'll never fly
'Til you learn how to fall
I've learned my lesson before
