Lyrics - Lessons in Perception

........my thoughts when this popped into my head were based on a relationship and things that could go wrong when one party is saying or doing things that are clearly wrong but they have no clue that what they are doing isn't right. In this case I'm focusing on the guy. The fool who has little to no regard for the feelings of his girl and how his words and actions are hurting the relationship. And just when she tells him she's had it.............he retracts and tries to save himself..........but he still doesn't get it................or does he?

Lessons in Perception

I didn't see the hurt on your face
Not even a trace
Or the look in your eyes
Asking me to be nice
I didn't think that things had become
Quite so undone
Now I'm paying the price
I swear I'll make it right

Baby now I realize
That you just fantasize
About the way that you want me to be
Give me lessons in perception
And I promise I'll accept them
So things will be the way they should be
Between you and me
Between you and me
Between you and me

Lessons in perception
Are knocking at my door
I want to tell you that I love you
Does it matter anymore?
Lessons in Perception

Now what we had is on the shelf
No one to blame but myself
Seems like everything I've said
Is just messing with your head
I had no clue what I had done
Pushed you away you're on the run
I didn't mean to make you cry
Please don't say goodbye

Baby now I realize
That you just fantasize
About the way that you want me to be
Give me lessons in perception
And I promise I'll accept them
So things will be the way they should be
Between you and me
Between you and me
Between you and me

I'm such an ignorant man

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
