Jada Monroe That's The Lesson Lyrics

[Intro]
I spent so long calling it love
Didn't know till it was over that it was just hurting me

[Verse 1]
I gave him everything I had
Every good part of me
Thought if I loved him hard enough
He'd be who I needed him to be
Took a long time standing in the rubble
To finally understand
That wanting somebody to be different
Don't make them a different man

[Pre-Chorus]
But I ain't bitter about it
Not one single day
Everything I lost back then
Showed me a better way

[Chorus]
Honey, that's the lesson
Pain will teach you what love won't
Some things you only learn
By living through what hurts
That's the lesson
Didn't see it at the time But everything I went through
Brought me back to myself
That's the lesson
Mmm
That's the lesson

[Verse 2]
I don't carry him with me anymore
Put that down a long time ago
Some women hold on to the anger
I just held on to what I know
And what I know now
Is worth every bit of what it cost me

[Chorus]
Honey, that's the lesson
Pain will teach you what love won't
Some things you only learn
By living through what hurts
That's the lesson
Didn't see it at the time
But everything I went through
Brought me back to myself
That's the lesson
Mmm
That's the lesson

[Outro]
That's the lesson
Mmm
Worth every bit
Yeah
