Half/Measure - Lesson Learned Lyrics

I've learned a lot about
What the heart really wants
And tried to sustain it
It doesn't mean that
I don't have my own
My own scars to carry

You say the look that I
Have in my eyes screams
More than thoughts and words
I would ever wish speak
Time and time again
I wondered If I have to
Give up I am
Losing state of mind
Getting shaped
By lessons forced upon

Can't shake the sense
Of feeling lost
The closer that I get
It all becomes too much

It doesn't matter how
I find myself
Running from pure self-doubt
Can't catch a breath
Someday this lesson
Will be learned

Sure, I've been hurt, been lost
And broken down many times
The heart Knows what it needs
Don't ignore the signs
Sure You've been hurt, been lost
And broken down
Your heart knows what it needs
To feel alive

Can't shake the sense of
Feeling lost
The closer that I get
It all becomes too much but
I will hang on to the things
I've learned through this
Although it can take a toll
And wear you down just
Don't be afraid to ask
You'll see

Yeah!

I keep my scars
They help me carry on
I know you
See them as flaws
