The Lesson (feat. Hailey Kearns)
You do everything under the guise of being her friend
But everyone is betting on how it's going to end
When will you realize that you've fucked up
And that this is no temporary hookup
And I'm not trying
To get in the way of your emotions
But when you can't be heard out
And you cast away the doubt
Maybe it's time to learn the lesson
That you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You're not gonna get what you want
But I know that the heart is the strongest muscle
And you can't keep yourself from saying "If"
But it's better to move along
Than waste your time and hold on
Young boy don't hold on
'Cause it's not worth it
It's not worth it
You're not worth it
You can't always get what you want
You're not gonna get what you want
You're not gonna get what you want
But everyone is betting on how it's going to end
When will you realize that you've fucked up
And that this is no temporary hookup
And I'm not trying
To get in the way of your emotions
But when you can't be heard out
And you cast away the doubt
Maybe it's time to learn the lesson
That you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You're not gonna get what you want
But I know that the heart is the strongest muscle
And you can't keep yourself from saying "If"
But it's better to move along
Than waste your time and hold on
Young boy don't hold on
'Cause it's not worth it
It's not worth it
You're not worth it
You can't always get what you want
You're not gonna get what you want
You're not gonna get what you want
