What Have You Learned? Lyrics - Nothing Rhymes With Woman - Carbon Leaf

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 you 

You're like a butterfly on a windy day 

You use directions in a roundabout way 

What 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 why 

Cast away and you're looking through the wreckage for your pride 

But you can't salvage what you don't supply 

What 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 unsure 

You're like a squirrel out in the middle of the road 

You're halfway there but don't know which way to go 

What 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 dignity 

You're like the waves beating on the sandy shore 

You swear you've been there once or twice before 

What 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 you 

It'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 shore 

What have you learned? 

What have you learned? 

What have you learned? 

What have you learned?
