I learned my lesson, nobody is to blame Except for you I learned my lesson, we're all trying to hide Doing the best we can, in order to survive But some of us keep it simple And some of us will deceive We tell half of the story, so we can take the things we need And some of our efforts are colorful And some people they lose And some people live in the shadows So they never have to choose You spread your darkness, like a disease Then you offer your body, as the only remedy I believe in love I believe in love No, darling, you can't take that away from me I believe in love I believe in love No, darling, you can't take that away from me You had me by the throat You had me by the horns You had me in the same bed While it was still warm My hair was still on the pillow My clothes were still on the floor You didn't care, no darling, the hungry always want more Oh, my hair was still on the pillow My music was still in the air You didn't care to tell her why I had been there And you knew that she was scared But you took her anyway You told her she was everything, then you had your way And she told you that she loved you And you told her you were tired Oh, the things we say Once we've got what we desired I believe in love I believe in love No, darling, you can't take that away from me I believe in love I believe in love No, darling, you can't take that away from me I believe in love I believe in love No, darling, you can't take that away from me I learned my lesson, nobody is to blame Except for you --- By the Horns - Julia Stone
