You’re going to take every chance that is given to you
I believe in you you’re going to see this through
You’re going to break your little heart in two
And it’s going to bend but heal with time

There’ll be dancing on tables
There’ll be tears on the phone
There’ll be nights that you’ll regret babe
There’ll be days you’ll feel all alone
But you’re not alone

The blues and the bliss you’ll hit and you’ll miss
Let the waves come crashing in you’ll be soaked to the skin
And no matter how I’ll try and I’ll try
To ease all your pain you have to feel it all the same
Everybody’s gotta learn
Everybody’s gotta learn their own lesson

You’re going to tell me how much you hate me someday
And I’ll watch as the world leads you astray
You’re going to leave me and I won’t stand in your way
And it’s going to hurt but I’ll deal in time

There’ll be kissing strangers
There’ll be missing home
There’ll be nights that you’ll forget babe
There’ll be days you’ll feel all alone
But you’re not alone

The blues and the bliss you’ll hit and you’ll miss
Let the waves come crashing in you’ll be soaked to the skin
And no matter how I’ll try and I’ll try
To ease all your pain you have to feel it all the same
Everybody’s gotta learn (everybody’s gotta learn)
Everybody’s gotta learn (everybody’s gotta learn)
Everybody’s gotta learn
Everybody’s gotta learn their own lesson
