When You Learn To Sing - Rocco DeLuca And The Burden

And after he’s gone

That’s when you learn to sing

A mother can give you her breast

But soon that’s all she’ll bring

And when she’s left

That’s when you learn to sing

And people live this life

I know we lie and deceive

It’s not that I’m blind

I just want to believe

And when your love grabs your arm

And whispers the sweetest of lies

And all those around you, they wonder

How come you’ve been surprised?

It’s written in her eyes

That hope is a dangerous thing

Nightingale, you stagger and fail

Is that how you’ve learned how to sing?

And people live this life

I know you lie and deceive

And I’m not so blind

I just wanted

And people live the world

I know you hurt and deceive

And I’m not so blind

I just wanted, and I want, and I want

To believe

And I want to believe, and I want to believe

And I want to believe, and I want to believe

And I want to believe, and I want to believe

And I want to believe

I just wanted
