Sometimes you got to let the old you burn
You got to let go, take life on its own terms
You got to say to yourself this is what I am
An addict hanging by a thread, but damn
You got to fail    
You got to fail   
if you're gonna learn

I left in August when it was hot and dry
The azaleas in the yard, they had bloomed and died
And the way I left it gave no room for doubt
I had failed to learn what it was all about
I had to fail
I had to fail
to learn

But I can tell you now
that I have learned somehow
how to live with the pain
I finally figured out
Sometimes it’s just a drought  
But the rain, the rain will come
and you can wash away the old
and you can be the rainbow
but you got to fail
You got to fail
to learn 

You loved me and you tried everything you knew to try
And sometimes you had to close the door and cry
So I left, traveled north to the frost
A bluebird followed 'cause it knew I was lost
I had to fail
I had to fail
to learn

But I can tell you now
that I have learned somehow
how to live with the pain
I finally figured out
Sometimes it’s just a drought  
But the rain, the rain will come
and you can wash away the old
and you can be the rainbow
but you got to fail
You got to fail
to learn 

The strangest thing happened
The bluebird landed
and just sat
and I knew it was you
and I knew
you had my back
and I thought back to the time
when it all began
I forgot I'm just a keeper of the
soul I am
more than my story
and you really know me
so I'm coming home

‘Cause I can tell you now
that I have learned somehow
how to live with the pain
I finally figured out
Sometimes it’s just a drought  
But the rain, the rain will come
and you can wash away the old
and you can be the rainbow
but you got to fail
You got to fail
to learn  
But you got to fail
You got to fail
 to learn
