Lesson Learned

I’m done
It’s over
I think I’m at peace now
The war is over
I think I can breathe now

I’ve learned to forgive myself
for the mess I that I made
But I have no regrets
Because it made me this way
The woman I am today

Chorus:
You’re my lesson learned
My lesson learned
Every time I thought I failed
Every mistake you nailed to my cross
Every moment that you said
Was just imagined in my head
And I thought I was lost
I’m glad I made it out in time
To restore the light that almost burned out
And I know now
Without you I’m alright

You said
You’re sorry
But I can’t believe you
You push and pull me
The cycle continues

I’ve learned to detect
All the lies that you make
And I broke free from thinking
That you’d ever change
You’ve proven time and again that you’re still the same

Chorus

Bridge:
Every hello
Met with goodbye
Every glance that made me shudder and cry
Every lecture where you’d criticize
Every part of me I couldn’t hide
Every decision, every move, everything that I’d say or I’d do
Was never enough to satisfy you

But all that I hope for
Now that I'm healed
Is for you confront all your pain that you shield
And all of the suffering you turned into blame
Maybe one day you’ll eventually say

I was your lesson learned
Your lesson learned
Every time you thought I failed
And every mistake you nailed to my cross
Every moment that you said
Was just imagined in my head
And I thought I was lost

It was you who needed a hand
It was you who couldn’t be the man
Who you imagined was who you should be
So you threw it at me
And pushed me far away when I wanted to stay
And feel safe and loved and right

You should know
You should know
You should know
You should know
You should know
You should know
You should know
You should know
You should know

Without you I’m alright
Without you I’m alright
