Lyrics:

This for all the times I thought ‘bout giving up

And this for times I thought I wasn’t good enough

Imma play this song for times that I be spinning out

And play it for the times that I be feeling stuck

Yeah this for my regrets that I got running through my head

Imma play this song out loud and it’s for every shedded tear

For the lessons through the pain

Yeah

For all the lessons through the pain

--

I learned to stop explaining myself

Yeah I learned a thing or two ‘bout trust

I know people play they part

But looking back I feel so dumb

I can’t help blaming myself

Got a habit of doing that too much

Since a long time ago when my heart froze over

It’s been hard for me to give a

Funny to think I was playing myself

And I still don’t know how to make it feel real

It all happened so fast

Everything good I touch goes bad

I’m spinning right now and this song goes out to everything I know that won’t last

And I can’t let nobody close no more

Can’t be nice I ain’t tryna get chose last

Nothing they say lasts forever is really forever and I learned that lesson

I still wish all of my exes the best even though I know they’ll never really do better

I know they say you should never say never

If you did me dirty I’ll never forget it though

I use to have my heart on my sleeve now I gotta tee yeah I had to cut it off

The world get really cold I gotta keep it even colder

I had to learn the harder way that sometimes you can’t show love

This one for the darker days when I didn’t have no one

This for all the days that I was close to giving it all up

--

Yeah this for all the times I thought ‘bout giving up

And this for times I thought I wasn’t good enough

Imma play this song for times that I be spinning out

And play it for the times that I be feeling stuck

Yeah this for my regrets that I got running through my head

Imma play this song out loud and it’s for every shedded tear

For the lessons through the pain

Yeah

For all the lessons through the pain
