Indigo Girls - Learned It On Me lyrics

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 for what went wrong and how I've paved the path for the corner than you turned and this is what you've learned what you 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 is 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 I'm better now though 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) and you wanna thank me for everything I've learned from the hard-knocks and the troubles and the point of no return all the bridges that you burn what you you lack in 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 is 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 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 and some is true and now I know it's just me and it's just you and it's just the way it goes and now that book is closed what you you lack in love is not a lack in someone else (what you lack in love) and everyone has baggage to be carried you learn that one plus one is one plus one is never more or less (one plus one is one plus one) best of luck to that girl you married smiling on her little learning tree I wish you hadn't learned it on me
