Lyrics

This one for everybody that loved for real…
Sometimes what break you… make you
Failed relationships, scars all on my soul (on my soul)
Loved so many people, had to learn to let 'em go (let 'em go)
Thought I lost myself inside the damage and the smoke (yeah)
Now I see every goodbye was pushin' me to grow
Failed relationships, tears I never showed (never showed)
Had to walk through storms I thought would leave my heart cold (my heart cold)
If I could do it all again, I'd probably change some roads
But every broken chapter made me who I am now
I been through heartbreak
I been through lies (through lies)
I been through nights I sat alone askin' God why (God why)
But I wouldn't trade it
Wouldn't erase it (nah)
'Cause every failed relationship helped me create this
I got my daughters
I got my son (my son)
And if you ask me if I regret it… I regret none (regret none)
The pain hurt different
But now I understand
Sometimes you gotta lose love to become a man
I remember when we first met, I was sixteen
Talkin' all night on the phone chasin' big dreams
Met you through my cousin, young and innocent
Your daddy was a pastor, he wasn't feelin' it
You was smart as hell, focused on school
Meanwhile I'm outside tryna play it cool
Sneakin' through the house every chance we got
Almost got caught, had me hidin' in closets a lot
Then suddenly we wasn't kids no more
Life started movin', we was buildin' for sure
Had our daughter, man I felt like a king
Then two more babies, had everything
Then I joined the Army and I changed somehow
Started hearin' voices from the wrong crowd
Young and dumb, ego had me movin' blind
Lost something real tryin' to chase my pride
(Damn…)
(Yeah…yeah…)
Sometimes I blame myself (myself)
Sometimes I sit and think (sit and think)
Like how you throw away forever for temporary things?
I been through heartbreak
I been through lies (through lies)
I been through nights I sat alone askin' God why (God why)
But I wouldn't trade it
Wouldn't erase it (nah)
'Cause every failed relationship helped me create this
Then I met another love, almost got me killed (damn)
Crazy first impression but the chemistry was real
Stayed together every day, every flight, every road
Showed me different things, gave me a life I ain't know
Traveled around the world, seen places I ain't seen
Made me look at life beyond money and dreams
Then my little man came and changed my world
A father to a son, that's a priceless feeling
But pressure hit different when money get tight
Started keepin' secrets, started havin' fights
You did things behind me, I did things too
Now we both hurtin', both pointin' at who
Counseling sessions, trying hard to repair it
But once trust disappear, man that pain different
Too many lies and betrayal stacked high
Love was alive but slowly started dyin'
And maybe we both was broken (broken)
Maybe we both needed healing (healing)
Maybe God had another path
And we just couldn't see it
Maybe some people come in your life
Not to stay forever (forever)
Maybe they show up just to teach you
How to become better
Failed relationships, scars all on my soul (on my soul)
But look at me now, I finally got control (control)
And all the tears I cried became the strength I hold (yeah)
Every broken heart helped build me into gold
I got my daughters
I got my son (my son)
And if you ask me if I regret it… I regret none
Thankful for the lessons
Thankful for the pain
'Cause every failed relationship wasn't loss… it was gain
(Scars…)
(Yeah…)
Sometimes love ain't forever…
Sometimes love just prepares you for forever…
(Oh-oh…)
