Author's Note: So I managed to remember how most of this story went and got it re typed up pretty fast. I'm proud of myself for that. I think my original was probably better, but unfortuantely I don't have that version anymore :( Oh well this one is still good too. Enjoy!

Learn my lesson-Daughtry Creddie

Freddie's POV

Tonight the sunset means so much

The one thing that you know you'll never touch

Like the Feeling, the real thing

I reach out for the sweet dream

But somehow the darkness wakes me up

I sat on the fire escape watching the sunset. I loved watching it, just knowing that man will never be able to get there is so interesting. I used to sit out here and do this with Carly all the time. I missed being with her, suddenly there she was. We were still together and in love. I reached out for her, only to be jolted awake by the sound of thunder. I had fallen asleep on the fire escape again. I woke up to see that the sun had set and a storm was rolling in.

I've felt this emptiness before

All the times that i've been broken, I still run right back for more

I walked back into my apartment, feeling a familiar sense of emptiness. I've been left broken by Carly many times. Suddenly there was a knock at my door. I opened it to find Carly standing there. She looked at me and said

"Hi Freddie, I want you back." I've heard it so many times before, and once again I ran right back into her arms, most likely to go through this whole process over again.

You think that I'd learn my lesson by now

You think that I'd somehow figure out

That if you strike the match you're bound to feel the flame

You think that I'd learn the cost of love

I paid that price long enough

But still I drive myself right through the pain

Yeah, well it turns out, I haven't learned a thing

You think I would've known that it would happen again, you think I'd learn. Being with Carly, I'm just setting myself up for pain. The cost of her love is the large amount of pain I suffer through. I've been paying that price since 6th grade, and it turns out I haven't learned anything.

Sometimes I think I'm better off

If I turn out the lights, and close up shop

And give up the longing, believeing, and belonging

Just hold down my head and take the loss

Just like I predicted, We broke up a week later. Sometimes I think that I should just give up on Carly, Ignore her when she Says that she wants to get back together again. Ignore her longing, quit believing her. Beacuse I don't belong with her. I just need t accept it and take a loss.

"Dude, can't you freakin learn?" Sam asked me befuddled

"Learn what?" I asked back at her

"That Carly's just playing with you." She said annoyed

"I've thought about it." I admitted

"Then stop going after her. You're just setting yourself up for more heartbreak." For the first time I realized that Sam was being genuine and really did care about my feelings

"I still haven't learned, and honestly Sam, I don't think I ever will." I said as I left the room

You think that I'd learn the cost of love

But still I drive myself right through the pain

Yeah, well it turns out, I haven't learned a thing

I walked back across the hall to my apartment, away from Carly and Sam. Sam just doesn't understand how deep my love for Carly is. That love makes the pain bearable. Makes it easier for me to pay the price and power through the pain.

You think that I'd somehow figure out

I haven't learned a thing ( Haven't learned, Haven't learned)

I haven't learned a thing

It's been a few weeks now. Carly and I are back together again. Sam was pissed and I think a little saddened by it. Carly and I have been together for 3 weeks now, I think this time we'll actually stay together. I was right, I still haven't learned a thing.
