Abby Ahmad - Lost on Me lyrics

Repeat performance Cruel déjà vu You play the bad guy And I'll play the fool How could I slip and make the same mistake twice? When did I learn to forgo my own good advice? I cannot stand here Awaiting the day That your actions Match the words that you say My heart's gone bankrupt Selling wisdom for free Every lesson learned is another one Lost on me I am a danger to myself Get all mangled Tangled Tied up in the past Be true unto thyself But I can't manage I'm damaged A victim to typecast Applause, applause Three cheers for the lost cause Fragile, flawed Shining center stage But the pain makes you grow Hard land to tow When everything's changing Now, see how I've changed I cannot stand here Awaiting the day You finally decide to Get out of your own way I sacrificed my want Appeasing your need Every lesson learned is another one Lost on me Things that you tried to hide I chose to ignore Guess we're both better actors Than we gave ourselves credit for But now that I can finally see All those things you've held inside Despite what you have meant to me I cannot just let this slide See, I cannot stand here Pretend we're ok Not like you've fessed up To your fact, anyway I tried to play teacher I never could be Every lesson learned is another one lost on me Every lesson learned, another one's lost on me Every lesson learned, another one's lost on me But man, why'd you have to Go and get lost on me?
