Live and Learn

I know it won't be easy repairing my poor heart.
I've gone about it knowing right from the very start.
I simply can't complete it now, and maybe never will.
It's got a part still missing only she could fill.

My first attempt at romance had caught me unprepared.
I didn't know how much she had to know I really cared.
Now she's gone, and I'm alone to live my life my way.
Sadly, everything I do has seen a better day.

Live and learn the prophets say.
Learn to love the only way.
If you do then you just may
live to love another day.

All along I always thought that she'd remain enchanted.
Finally, now, I realize I took her love for granted.
I wish that I could turn back time and change things one by one.
But I know the pain I caused could never be undone.

True love is a special gift that has to be returned.
That's a lesson that the lonely have seldom ever learned.
It really hurts to lose in love. There's no doubt about it.
So should you take a chance on love, or a chance on life without it?
