Just Another Lesson

Maybe you're just frustrated
And you don't really mean those things you say
You're throwing words just like a hatchet at a tree
Don't chop me down today
I guess everyone deserves a little leeway
Just not when it makes some others bleed
Do you really throw your love out
Like a mattress on the street
When it's time to leave

And I know I should know by now
Sometimes that thing that you fight for
Is gone when you turn around
You might say that it's all meant to be
But it's just another lesson to me

Once we were so strong and honest
Then winter came along and took our strength
Soon enough the honest left
Now we're throwing innuendo
Wondering where your future went
Where it went

And I know I should know by now
Sometimes that thing that you fight for
Is gone when you turn around
You might say that it's all meant to be
But it's just another lesson to me

Say that you're just frustrated
And you don't really mean those words you say
Or say what you want, it won't matter
I don't hear you anyway
