Lyrics

What I've learned
I learned in this life music is what I wanna pursue
I learned that nothing worth doing will be easy to do
I learned that motivation will always come and then go
I learned that life will speed up but then sometimes it'll slow
I learned that not everyday can be a successful day
But I also learned I can't let that get in the way
I learned that I will have my highs and lows
But all that matters is that I tried my best—even if I did okay
I learned that nothing's as serious as the mind can make it
And the easy solution to a problem is just to face it
I learned that the brain has a tendency to overthink
Dressing fear into logic like that'll ever make it shrink
I learned that perception can change or be changed in a day
And deep thoughts can come and go kinda like the gray
I learned that the small things in life are gonna seem big
But time is perception — the farther away, the smaller it is
And that's just what I've learned
What I've learned
I learned to cherish the journey and not the finish
I learned the means don't always justify the image
I learned that not everyone will appreciate me as a friend
But the people who do will stick around until the very end
I learned that not everybody wants me to give them help
But instead stay at their side while they try to figure it out
I learned that not everybody is gonna understand
So I won't take the dry towel and try to wring it out
I learned that sometimes self-sufficiency is most important
And relying on other people will only distort it
But I gotta know that's not always the case
Because asking for help is a skill I don't ever wanna erase
I learned that people — they can change or fade as life goes on
And if that happens, then there's no choice but to stray away
But I learned that if I take what they taught me
Then I can use their wisdom to live in a better way
And that's just what I've learned
What I've learned
I learned that people in my life are gonna come and go
But the memory and all of the lessons probably won't
I learned that I gotta pick up my feet while on the run
because I won't always have the option to start at square one
I learned nothing or anything will ever stay the same
And the ability to adapt is what will make me stronger
I learned that there's no better time to start than the present
Because what I don't accomplish doesn't make my regrets smaller
I learned that not everything will go my way
But it's up to me to make the best out of the worst every day
I learned that the right path is gonna be a little scary
But stepping out my comfort zone's gonna be necessary
I learned that I can't always drink what I fill in my cup
But success is guaranteed if I never give up
I realized that for the past I will yearn
But the future has a lot in store
And that's just what I learned
And that's just what I've learned
