Richard Melvin Brown - My History Lesson Lyrics

My heart is striving to survive a painful history lesson
It hurts so bad I am convinced it just might stop beating
You see it never gave it's best it failed to pass the test
And now my heart's say's it's time for reviewing my history lesson

My history lesson has required some serious review
I failed my final exam with a painful grade of lonely
I'm the one that was left behind on the leftover side of leavin'
With the stain of goodbye on the cover of my history lesson

My soul is sincerely searching for the truth in true devotion
It's a compassionate goal but with a calculated conclusion
And as far as I can tell I am learning my lesson well
From the chapter of love on page one of my history lesson

My history lesson has required some serious review
I failed my final exam with a painful grade of lonely
I'm the one that was left behind on the leftover side of leavin'
With the stain of goodbye on the cover of my history lesson

My heart almost always felt it never needed tending
And it never thought that it ever would need mending
But it broke and then was found in shattered pieces on the ground
Covered up with goodbye in the files of my history lesson

My history lesson has required some serious review
I failed my final exam with a painful grade of lonely
I'm the one that was left behind on the leftover side of leavin'
With the stain of goodbye on the cover of my history lesson

I'm the one that was left behind on the leftover side of leavin'
With the stain of goodbye on the cover of my history lesson
With the stain of goodbye on the cover of my history lesson
