[Intro – female, soft / breathy]
I don’t want…
another lesson…
mm…
⸻
[Verse 1 – female]
I don’t want it to be a lesson…
I wanted it to be love…
Not another night rebuilding
what I barely opened up…
I’ve been strong for way too long,
held myself when no one would…
So why you walk into my world
just to leave me misunderstood?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – female, tension rising]
Is it a game… you play?
Breaking walls I made…
Brick by brick, you stayed—
just to walk away…?
⸻
[Chorus – female lead / male soft echo]
I don’t want lessons… (M: no more, no more…)
I just wanted love… (M: I was there…)
You touched every part of me
I was hiding from…
Now I’m left with pieces… (M: I didn’t mean…)
Trying to rebuild trust…
I don’t want a lesson…
I just wanted us…
⸻
[Verse 2 – female, deeper / more tired tone]
Now my hands are getting tired,
stacking walls a little higher…
Every brick a little thicker,
every “maybe” feeling lighter…
You saw inside my quiet,
every scar I tried to hide…
Tell me why you opened doors
if you knew you wouldn’t stay inside…
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2 – male enters softly / regret tone]
(MALE – soft, almost like a thought)
I didn’t know… you’d fall this deep…
I didn’t mean… to leave you weak…
(FEMALE overlaps softly)
Then why you come… so close to me…?
⸻
[Chorus – fuller, emotional swell]
I don’t want lessons… (M: no more…)
I just wanted love…
You broke the quiet parts of me
I was guarding up…
Now I’m left in ruins… (M: I’m sorry…)
Trying to rise above…
I don’t want a lesson…
I just wanted us…
⸻
[Bridge – stripped, intimate / almost spoken]
(FEMALE)
I wasn’t asking you to fix me…
I just wanted you to stay…
(MALE – faint)
I thought love was temporary…
(FEMALE)
Mine was here to stay…
⸻
[Final Chorus – soft → emotional release]
I don’t want lessons…
I’ve learned enough alone…
You didn’t have to break me
just to show me I’m strong…
If this was your goodbye…
then take what you’ve done…
I don’t want a lesson…
…I just wanted love…
