It happens so easy, in the wink of an eye The moment you cut the cable The rest of the world goes drifting by Leaving you high and dry Your love was there waiting to slip me the key It's just that behind my curtain Your love wasn't getting through to me And setting my spirit free What started me thinking of changing the plan, What took me so long to find out That you only want me as I am? See how the silence sends it on down to you Now all you need is to believe it's true This lesson is over, this message got through I'm turning the corner You know that I'm coming back to you To be the one I can be I know you told me but I had to find it out for myself Oh sweet baby I cried And when I saw the way I hurt you Saw the tears in your eyes But now it's different cos I'm learning from my past mistakes And I never make the same one twice Listen to me when I tell you this is no disguise See how etc This lesson etc
