I'll pretend you are not the exception if you admit for one second that I was

They say:
If they love you, then they'll return
To never let your bridges burn
But as far as I am concerned
You're just another lesson learned

I'm just a lone wanderer
On the long way home
No matter where I settle
My heart will always roam

But people can be so weird in that way
They say they want love but chase it away

Hidden layers no one bothered to discover
Dig deeper to what led us to one another
