lyrics:
Swimming deeper into the depths 
I thought that I’d get lost but you don’t want me to forget 
Can’t sleep when you’re taunting, keep my skin crawling 
But it’s all in my head, but it’s all in my head

Closer to the edge 
Avoiding where you’ve been 
Wasted all that time cause
It wasn’t love it was a lesson
I’m falling over myself 
Bending over backwards for you but it 

It wasn’t love it was a lesson 
It wasn’t love it was a lesson 
It wasn’t love it was a lesson 
It wasn’t love it was a lesson 

Tore my heart up into shreds 
and all I got to know so gullible I wish I could forget 
So cold in the morning
Can’t start cause it’s haunted
So I just lay awake instead of taking up the love I lost

Closer to the edge 
Avoiding where you’ve been 
Wasted all that time cause
It wasn’t love it was a lesson
I’m falling over myself 
Bending over backwards for you but it 

It wasn’t love it was a lesson 
It wasn’t love it was a lesson 
It wasn’t love it was a lesson 
It wasn’t love it was a lesson

It Was A Lesson

lyrics:

I know you’re happy now, without me around
I tried my best to care, but it’s over now
You know I always wanted the best for you
But she twisted your words and I let her do it 
I don’t know how we’ll work it out
Now I gotta learn how to live with myself 

So I’ll live live
So I’ll live live 

I tried to make amends, but they were met with anger
You cast me as a villain, said I’m just like your father
But its not my fault you’re projecting like this 
Somehow you still manage to make me feel shit
Just goes to show it was all toxic
I’m glad I got out but I’m still hurt by it

So I’ll live live
Yeah I’ll live live 
I’ll just live
Yeah I’ll live live

lyrics:

Venomous snake poisoned my blood
Guess I had to find out for myself
Coursing through my body but it’s still mine 
Didn’t need that energy in my life

Funny how you only wanted to talk when I had something to offer 
I feel like the parts that you hide the best say the most about who you are

For all the times I offered up my blood and my bones
You cut them out shaped my skin to be your home 
Don’t know why I let it go on so long
Wish I hadn’t written you all those fucking songs

Venomous snake poisoned my blood
Guess I had to find out for myself
Coursing through my body but it’s still mine 
Didn’t need that energy in my life

You’re venomous
You’re venomous
You’re venomous
You’re venomous 

You’re venomous, I can’t handle it
You’re so venomous, you’re venomous venomous venomous

venomous
