Our dinner date was canceled
You had to move on
So I sang at your funeral
A couple of songs
I'm not sure that you knew them
But it's what the preacher wanted
I dare not refute him
Lest we all be haunted
I'm learning lessons on life
Lessons on loss

I take what I'm given
And I give what I'm told
I read books about freedom
Then I cry about getting older
No face mask or botox
Could make a man want me
The way that I thought once
Was all that I'd really need

I'm learning lessons on life
Lessons on loss
Forget what they taught me
It's just lessons on loss
Find out what this really means

White knuckle gripping
Onto what I have
But everything that I've got
Will turn into a lesson on loss

White knuckle gripping
Onto what I have
But everything that I've got
Will turn into a lesson on life
A lesson on loss

I think that I'm okay
Til I can hardly breath
Carton of eggs in my hands
At the grocery
Cause I thought that I saw you
But I was just mistaken
My god how I miss you
But that's just a lesson on life
A lesson on loss"
