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
