Unlearn

I've learned to hide my pain

behind a smile

To bite my tongue

when I feel like crying

I've learned to keep giving

when there's nothing left

I've build up a debt

I can't even begin to pay back

Echoes of the past

Still call me

Won't you free me?

Let them drift away

Like leaves

drifting in the breeze

Learned to build my walls

so high

Behind it all my dreams

They've died

Why do we learn things in life,

That keep us from living?

If I could just take all the lies

That took root deep

Inside my mind

Someday I will watch them burn

And the rain will wash away the pain

I want to unlearn

I want to unlearn!

I've learned it's of no concern

What I want

To give them all I am

Until they're done

I've learned to close my hands

Around my heart

Even though I'm lonely

I will never want to show my scars

Echoes of the past

Still call me

Won't you free me?

Let them drift away

Like leaves

drifting in the breeze

Learned to build my walls

so high

Behind it all my dreams

They've died

Why do we learn things in life,

That keep us from living?

If I could just take all the lies

That took root deep

Inside my mind

Someday I will watch them burn

And the rain will wash away the pain

I want to unlearn

I want to unlearn!
