Lesson Learned Lyrics & Video

He broke my heart,
And now it's raining just to rub it in.
I'm at your door,
I feel so crazy about it.
You say, "I told you so."
You saw it long ago,
You knew he had to go.
I finally came around,
I'm back on solid ground.
Can't let it get me down.

It's alright,
It's alright,
It's alright,
It's alright.
It's alright,
It's alright,
It's alright,
It's alright.

Yes, I was burned but I call it a lesson learned.
The stake will be turned,
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul was returned,
So I call it a lesson learned.
Another lesson learned.

Sometimes some flies can take a minute to fully realize.
His tears,
Your eyes,
Thirty seconds to apologize.
You give it one more chance,
Just like the time before.
But he already know,
You'd give a hundred more.
Until that night in bed,
You wake up in a sweat,
You're racing to the door,
Can't take it anymore.

I was burned, but I call it a lesson learned.
The stake will be turned so I call it a lesson learned.
My soul has returned, so I call it a lesson learned.
Another lesson learned.

Life perfect ain't perfect if you don't know what the struggle's fore.
Falling down ain't falling down if you don't cry when you hit the floor.
It's called the past, cause I'm getting past
And I ain't nothing like I was before.
You ought to see me now.

Yes, I was burned but I call it a lesson learned.
The stake will be turned so I call it a lesson learned.
My soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned.
