[Intro]
x2
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I've had
my share of b
roken dreams
And more than
a couple of fa
-a-alls
And in chasing
what I though
t were moonbea
ms
I have run int
o a couple of
walls
But in looking
back at the p
laces I've bee
n
The changes th
at I've left b
ehind
I just look at
myself to fin
d
I've learned
the hard way
every time
[Verse 2]
'Cause I've ha
d my share of
good intention
s
And I've made
my share of mi
sta-a-akes
And I've learn
ed at times it
's best to ben
d
'Cause if you
don't, well th
ose are the br
ea-a-aks
Should have li
stened to all
the things I w
as told
But I was youn
g and too prou
d at the time
Now I look at
myself to find
I learned t
he hard way ev
ery time
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
But in looking
back at the l
essons I've le
arned
Or the mountai
ns I wanted to
climb
I just look at
myself to fin
d
I've learned
the hard way
every time
[Verse 4]
'Cause I've ha
d my share of
broken dreams
And more than
a couple of fa
-a-alls
And in chasing
what I though
t were moonbea
ms
I have run int
o a couple of
walls
But in looking
back at the p
laces I've bee
n
I would sure b
e the first on
e to say
When I look at
myself today
Wouldn't-a d
one it any oth
er way
