But there were lessons learned

Every tear that had to fall from my eyes
Everyday I wonder how I get through the night
Every change, life has thrown me
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every time

Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned

There's mistakes that I have made
Some chances I just threw away
Some roads, I never should've taken

Been some signs I shouldn't see
Hearts that I hurt needlessly
Some roads that I wish I could have one more chance to make

But it don't make no difference
The past can't be rewritten, you get the life you're given
Oh, some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes
Everyday I wonder how I get through the night
Every change, life has thrown me
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every time

Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned

And all the things that break you, all the things that make you strong
You can't change the past, 'cause it's gone
And nothing's gotta go, because they are gone
Lessons learned

Every tear that had to fall from my eyes
From everyday I wonder how I get through the night
From every change, life has thrown me
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every time

Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
Oh, some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned, lessons learned
