8. Lessons to learn

I am colder than I should be
For this time of night
Emptier than I should be
With no wish to fight

It seems I have some lessons to learn
Lessons to learn

I am older than I should be
For this time of life
More troubled than I should be
Cut as if by a knife

From man to woman it seems little gets through
Great expectations, future, things that we'll do
Is it our nature, can we never say straight
What is it they want us to communicate?

I am wiser than I should be
For an unlucky man
Far better to be woman
And have sight of the plan
