How typical is this?
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 could not undo,
some things I wish I could do all, all over again.
But it don't really matter.
When life gets that much harder, it makes you that much stronger-- oh,
some pages turned, some bridges burned, but there were lessons learned.
There's mistakes that I have made, some chances I just threw away,
some roads I never should have 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.
But it don't make no difference.
The past can't be rewritten.
And all the things that break you, all the things that make you strong.
You can't change the past because it's gone.
You've just got to move on, because it's all lessons learned.
You get the life you're given, oh,
some pages turned, some bridges burned, but there were lessons learned.
From every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
from 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 start.
Some pages turned, some bridges burned, but there were lessons learned.
I'll never be able to properly record -- or remember -- all the things that have happened since I stopped writing in here regularly.
And I still can't believe how far I've managed to travel without any sense of direction at all.
