Things I've Been Learning

You don't know what you got until it's gone
And sometimes love walking out is what you needed all along
And it's okay to cry in private or in public
You may think it changes how they see you
But it doesn't

No one really cares if your place is a mess
Cause anyone who's human knows how busy life can get
You ain't asking for too much
You're just asking the wrong person
These are a few
Of the things that I've been learning

You can do what's right for you
Without their permission
If you're not ok, just say it
Don't have to keep it hidden
Life's not a short cut, it's the long way around
And everything is lost before it's found

Filtered photos on your phone are only an illusion
Comparisons the thief of joy and time that ain't worth losing
No one has to live with you but you
So ya oughta love that person
These are a few
Of the things that I've been learning

Do your best, get some rest and call the ones you love
The time that you have left with them is never quite enough
Try not to forget
You ain't only one who's hurting
These are a few
Of the things that I've been learning
These are a few
Of the things that I've been learning
