Love's Lessons: A Heartfelt Prayer for Redemption
Lyrics
I know that whiskey's
I acknowledge that whiskey will evoke memories of me.
Gonna make you miss me
Anticipating that the effects of whiskey will make you long for me.
Me on your bed in your t-shirt
Imagining myself on your bed, wearing your t-shirt, and pleading for your kiss.
Begging for you to just come kiss me
Hoping for your affection, urging you to come and kiss me.
I know that her kiss
Acknowledging that her kiss is as tender as mine.
Is just as soft as my lips
Expressing the desire for you to be faithful and give her something to miss.
But I hope that you're being good, twice the time
Questioning your faithfulness, wondering if you are treating her well.
And giving her something to miss
Hoping you provide her with experiences that make her miss you.
I pray that after me
Praying that after our relationship, you struggle to see clearly.
That you can't see straight
Recalling false promises and insincere commitments.
Promising things that you never could give
Consistently arriving just after the crucial moment, indicating unreliability.
Always showing up just a little too late
Continuing to hope that the experience taught you a lesson.
I pray that after me
Reiterating the hope that you learned from our past.
You learned your lesson
Desiring that the hardships with me taught you valuable lessons.
I was a little too good this whole damn time
Asserting that I was consistently good throughout the relationship.
To be the one left restless
Expressing dissatisfaction with being the one left restless or unfulfilled.
Are these chords I'm playing
Pondering whether it's the music or the words that resonate with you.
Or these words I'm saying
Questioning the impact of the lyrics and chords on your emotions.
Striking something in you that I never could
Wondering if I'm striking a chord in you that was previously untouched.
While I was on knees, praying
Reflecting on moments spent in prayer while on my knees.
Maybe I was foolish
Considering the possibility of foolishness in believing your assurances.
To let you make me believe in –
Questioning the authenticity of your words and actions.
"Baby, we're different,
Recalling false assurances of being different and the suggestion to go home.
Let's just go home
Rejecting the idea of returning home and forgetting the past.
And forget about this whole thing"
Praying for clarity and realization after our relationship.
I pray that after me
Repeating the hope for impaired vision after our connection ends.
That you can't see straight
Recalling false promises and insincere commitments.
Promising things that you never could give
Consistently arriving just after the crucial moment, indicating unreliability.
Always showing up just a little too late
Continuing to hope that the experience taught you a lesson.
I pray that after me
Reiterating the hope that you learned from our past.
You learned your lesson
Desiring that the hardships with me taught you valuable lessons.
I was a little too good this whole damn time
Asserting that I was consistently good throughout the relationship.
To be the one left restless
Expressing dissatisfaction with being the one left restless or unfulfilled.
I pray that after me
Repeating the hope for impaired vision after our connection ends.
You can't see straight
Recalling false promises and insincere commitments.
Promising things that you never could give
Continuing to hope that the experience taught you a lesson.
I pray that after me
Desiring that the hardships with me taught you valuable lessons.
You learned your lesson
Asserting that I was consistently good throughout the relationship.
I was a little too good this whole damn time
Expressing dissatisfaction with being the one left restless or unfulfilled.
To be the one left restless
Repeating the hope for impaired vision after our connection ends.
