Lesson Learned

[Verse 1]

I wish I'd held back the words,

Didn’t think they'd cut so deep,

Sometimes we act, we don’t observe,

Leaving promises we meant to keep.

[Pre-Chorus]

I never wanted pain,

Just caught up again.

[Chorus]

Now I’m left with empty hands,

Picking up what we had planned,

If only I could change my way,

And find the words to make you stay.

[Verse 2]

Mistakes laid out in plain view,

Tracing lines I crossed too fast,

When I let down the heart I knew,

Leaving shadows I thought would pass.

[Bridge]

Forgiveness feels so far away,

But I’ll keep trying day by day,

To prove the trust I threw away,

If there’s a chance you’ll choose to stay.

[Pre-Chorus]

I’d take it all back,

Erase what went slack.

[Chorus]

Now I’m left with empty hands,

Picking up what we had planned,

If only I could change my way,

And find the words to make you stay.
