What Have You Learned?

What have you learned, can you remember?

What would you like for me to do?

Everything you need from me is in your hands

And everything else is up to youYou're like a butterfly on a windy day

You use directions in a roundabout wayWhat have you learned now that you've been burned

By the guy who used to be the center of your eye?

And you're blown away by your own hurricane

And you wonder whyCast away and you're looking through the wreckage for your pride

But you can't salvage what you don't supplyWhat have you learned now that you've been burned

By the girl who used to be the center of your world?

Who used to be your center of gravity

And now you're so unsureYou're like a squirrel out in the middle of the road

You're halfway there but don't know which way to goWhat have you learned now that you've been burned

By the one who used to be the one and only?

If you could see your sinking dignityYou're like the waves beating on the sandy shore

You swear you've been there once or twice beforeWhat have you learned?

What have you learned?

What have you learned?What have you learned, can you remember?

Now that they don't know what to do

Now that they miss your heart of gold so badly

This is what I'd say if I were youIt's in a treasure chest that's buried in the sand

But the X does not mark the spot and I do not need a hand

And if I burst out into flames without your guidance anymore

Just scatter me across the sea if you can kiss my ashes from the shoreWhat have you learned?

What have you learned?

What have you learned?

What have you learned?
