[Chorus] Everyone’s smart, when you are looking at another, everyone’s smart, when you are looking at another, but life get’s hard when, the heart’s in charge, and you’re staring in, the eyes of a lover, [Verse 1] It was nice knowing ya, another chapter closed, no love lost as the seasons passed, adapt and roll with the punches, already knew, it wouldn’t last, so no reason too be mad, assumptions were made, then things cascaded, to say the least, it was unavoidable, and hearts became jaded, now we’re on that happy belated, oh where to begin, seems like feelings and, memories faded with the wind, as the walls came crashing in, in the end, somehow couldn’t pretend, two worlds that collided, unbridled misery, it’s still a mystery, how we lasted, longer than expected, saw each other naked, uncovered truths, with our guards down, as wreck less as it sounds, that is how to build bonds, when you’re searching for the one, being vulnerable is, how to truly, get to know another soul, let them see you, at your highs and your lows, when not completely in control, [Prechorus] Hearts get exposed, when you don’t love from the overflow, emotions take control, barriers and guards, slowly get dropped low, no protection from this upcoming life lesson, [Chorus] Everyone’s smart, when examining another, but life is hard when, the heart’s in charge, and you’re staring in, the eyes of a lover, and the mind itself, begins to wonder, then start second guessing, but it’s too late, no protection from another life lesson, [Verse 2] Staring through my window pane, as you walk away again, in the middle of the storm, pouring down rain, it’s the norm, no reason for alarm, gotta keep moving, I’m done choosing pain, can’t let my soul drain, done complaining, love waning in the balance, when it’s a challenge, just to stay afloat, feels like the world, is reaching for my throat, and I’ve been done fighting, plus it’s obvious, that you don’t want no smoke, grew tired of, piecing together clues, so it’s murder like Jessica Fletcher wrote, no hope for a future love, romanticize about the good times, but can’t worry, bout what once was, happiness comes and goes, times change, learned to get it on my own, knew that if loving you was wrong, I didn’t want to be right, that’s the life that I chose, but it’s time to turn the page, as that chapter, finally came to its close, [Prechorus] Hearts get exposed, when you don’t love from the overflow, emotions take control, barriers and guards, slowly get dropped low, no protection from an upcoming life lesson, [Chorus] Everyone’s smart, when you are looking at another, but life is hard when, the heart’s in charge, and you’re staring in, the eyes of a lover, and the mind itself, begins to wonder, then start second guessing, but it’s too late, no protection from another life lesson,
