Lessons

(Verse 1)

I look back at the choices, the ones I made,

Thought I was winning, but I was just played.

Chasing the thrill, didn’t think about the cost,

But now I see the price of what I lost.

(Pre-Chorus)

It wasn’t just me, it hit them hard,

The weight of my actions left scars,

My family hurt, my pockets drained,

In the mess I made, I was chained.

(Chorus)

I got in trouble, didn’t know the way,

But I’ve learned my lesson, now I’m here to stay.

I can see the cost, yeah, it’s crystal clear,

All the pain I caused, it’s a new frontier.

I’m standing tall, I won’t go back,

I’m building a future, getting back on track.

(Verse 2)

I watched my family fall apart,

While I was chasing dreams in the dark.

I didn’t see the hurt I left behind,

Now I’m fixing what I broke, piece by piece, line by line.

(Pre-Chorus)

The weight on my heart, the tears that fell,

I felt the burn of my own personal hell,

But now I see, I can make it right,

One step forward into the light.

(Chorus)

I got in trouble, didn’t know the way,

But I’ve learned my lesson, now I’m here to stay.

I can see the cost, yeah, it’s crystal clear,

All the pain I caused, it’s a new frontier.

I’m standing tall, I won’t go back,

I’m building a future, getting back on track.

(Bridge)

It’s hard to erase the past,

But I’m stronger now, I’ll make it last.

I see the value in what I’ve found,

Rising above, turning it around.

(Chorus)

I got in trouble, didn’t know the way,

But I’ve learned my lesson, now I’m here to stay.

I can see the cost, yeah, it’s crystal clear,

All the pain I caused, it’s a new frontier.

I’m standing tall, I won’t go back,

I’m building a future, getting back on track.

(Outro)

It’s a better life, it’s a brighter day,

I’ll keep on climbing, come what may.

No more looking back, just moving ahead,

Learning from the past, I’m living instead.
