The Hardest Lessons - Chris Shiflett

Well, I’ve always been a malcontent

Never real good at takin' compliments

With one foot in my mouth, I apologize

And I never forget my last drink

Elevator goin' up but I was sinkin'

From the 25th floor, all I wanted to do was fly

Well, I’ve never been happier than walkin' away

I’ll get to where I’m goin' someday

And I don’t, at least I’ll keep you guessin'

Yeah, I’ve never been better than bein' alone

Every mistake I make is my own

'Cause some people only learn the hardest lessons

You know I got three boys and a minivan

Some days I forget who I am

And when I’m lost, I lead myself astray

25 years out on the road

Lost a few good friends and some I didn’t know

And here I am, dancin' on their graves

Well, think about baby what you really want

Has it ever been good enough?

And pardon me, all my indiscretions

But when you add it all up now in the end

I hope you’ll take me back again

'Cause some people only learn the hardest lessons

Well, think about baby what you really want

Oh, is it good enough?

And pardon me, all my indiscretions

But when you add it all up now in the end

I hope you’ll take me back again

'Cause some people only learn the hardest lessons

Yeah, some people only learn the hardest lessons
