Lyrics

[Verse 1] There comes a time eventually When the cold black water goes under the bridge So I say yes, we can meet up It's been too long and life goes on and I can do this You wanna thank me for everything you've learned From what went wrong and how I've paved the path For the corner that you turned And this is what you've learned [Chorus] What you lack from love is not a lack in someone else And everyone has baggage to be carried You learn that one plus one is one plus one, it's never more or less And once you finally got it you got married I guess I should be happy I'm the course that set you free I just wish you hadn't learned it on me [Verse 2] I'm better now although you almost broke me And at the time I couldn't see past my confusion When I believed that love was real and not a bag of tricks And you were always just more gifted at illusion You wanna thank me for everything you've learned From the hard knocks and the troubles And the point of no return Off the bridges that you burn [Chorus] What you lack from love is not a lack in someone else Everyone has baggage to be carried You learn that one plus one is one plus one, it's never more or less And once you finally got it you got married I'm glad your education made you happy by degree I just wish you hadn't learned it on me [Verse 3] I guess I'm glad that I've seen you face to face It's just slightly more cathartic than a letter But the line is pretty fine, in fact it's pretty much erased Between humility and making you feel better And some is false, some is true and now I know That it's just me and it's just you And it's just the way it goes And now that book is closed [Chorus] What you lack in love is not a lack in someone else Everyone has baggage to be carried You learn that one plus one is one plus one, it's never more or less Best of luck to that girl you married Smiling on her little learning tree I wish you hadn't learned it on me
