Opening verse:
There’s been so many lessons in my life some were good and some just weren’t right
Like my mamas who taught me love came for a price
Or there’s boogeymen that lurk around in the daylight
Change your scenery, change ur mind
Go outside you just might find
The answers to questions that keep you up at night
Chorus: take the lessons you learned, got some some bridges to burn
People leave, some return
Got some anger in my heart, got too much time spent apart, got my heart on my sleeve, that’s my favorite part
Too much love to give out, not enough for myself, they took advantage again but that’s the thing about
the lessons you learn
Verse 2: I learned that family isn’t blood
u think u shouldn’t you should
A white lie is a lie
Think they wouldn’t they would
I learned I can’t be someone’s reason for living but their motivation for leaving
That real love can’t be explained
That you get in trouble for breathing
Your anger will make words u say without meaning
You’ll miss your whole life if you keep on blinking
Chorus again
Verse 3
Chorus: thank God for the lessons you learn
And the bridges that burned
The friends and enemies that never did earn
The chance to understand through the lessons you learn make some bridges to burn
