There’s some things that I regret,
Some words I wish had gone unsaid,
Some starts that had some better endings,
Been some bad times I’ve been through,
Damage I cannot undo,
Some things I wish I could do all all over again,
But it don’t really matter,
Life gets that much harder,
It makes you that much stronger
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wonder how I get through the night,
Every change life has thrown me,
I’m thankful for every break in my heart,
I’m grateful for every scar
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’ve 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,
You get the life you’re given
And all the things that break you,
Are the things that make you strong,
You can’t change the past,
Cause it’s gone,
And you just gotta move on,
Because they are gone,
Lessons learned.
-Carrie Underwood (album: Some Hearts)
