i have learnt my lesson/
i have, before, spoken too much/
and said too little/
i have learnt my lesson/
i have, before, said too much/
and meant so little/
i have learnt my lesson/
all the things i mean to say/
i write them down in a letter/
and tear it down/
if i still feel the need/
to put together/
those torn down words/
i write another/
if not, i look at the torn letter/
and say/
never again. never/
i have learnt my lesson/
this is an honest away/
the only way/
to know for sure/
that every word/
i commit to by proclaiming/
i mean/
and every word/
that i would never utter/
to them/
i was equally committed too/
