Lessons Learned

作词 : Mina Eik

作曲 : Mina Eik

Packed up my pride in a paper bag

Walked out the door on a Sunday

Thought I was right ‘til the silence hit

And the echo had somethin’ to say

Kept all my fears in a backroom drawer

Slammed it shut

Never opened

Funny how cracks in the hallway floor

Tell the truth I was dodgin’

These are my lessons learned

Hands got burned

But I’m still reachin’

Heart took the long way home

Lost and alone

But I kept breathin’

I used to break

Now I just bend

Fallin’ apart taught me to mend

These are my

These are my

Lessons learned

I said “forever” when I meant “for now”

You said “it’s fine” but you meant “stay”

We practiced smiles like a second language

Til the words just gave way

Now I draw lines where I once drew hearts

Turn my “maybe” to “never”

I’m done mistaking a passing storm

For a promise of better

These are my lessons learned

Hands got burned

But I’m still reachin’

Heart took the long way home

Lost and alone

But I kept breathin’

I used to break

Now I just bend

Fallin’ apart taught me to mend

These are my

These are my

Lessons learned

I don’t hate the broken pieces (oh no)

They just show me where I’ve grown

Every scar a quiet secret

Spelled in skin I finally own

These are my lessons learned

Hands got burned

But I’m still reachin’

Heart took the long way home

Lost and alone

But I kept breathin’

I used to break

Now I just bend

Fallin’ apart taught me to mend

These are my

These are my

Lessons learned
