[Verse 1]
There's some things that I regret
Some words I wish had gone unsaid
Some starts
That had some bitter endings
Been some bad times I've been through
Damage I cannot undo
Some things
I wish I could do all, all over again

[Pre-Chorus]
But it don't really matter
Life gets that much harder
It makes you that much stronger
Oh, some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were
Lessons learned

[Chorus]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes
Every day I wondered how I'd get through the night
Every change, life has thrown me
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart
I'm grateful, for every scar
Some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned

[Verse 2]
There's mistakes that I have made
Some chances I just threw away
Some roads
I never should've taken
Been some signs I didn't see
Hearts that I hurt needlessly
Some wounds
That I wish I could have one more chance to mend

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes
Every day I wondered how I'd get through the night
Every change, life has thrown me
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart
I'm grateful, for every scar
Some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned

[Bridge]
And all the things that break you
Are all the things that make you strong
You can't change the past ('Cause it's gone)
And you just gotta move on
Because it's all
Lessons learned

[Chorus]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes
Every day I wondered how I'd 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 scar
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
