I wish I could go back
To my younger days
'Cause sometimes I think that
There's some things i'd change
Would've taken back
The kind words that I spoke
To a boy who left my heart broke
My love?
He didn't deserve it
But the lesson was worth it
I gotta thank the times
I messed up and got myself bruised
You know
You never notice the highs
'Til you've been low until you lose, no
I can't say that I never regret
My mistakes that I never forget
As I get older I realize, the bad times
Are where the lessons lie
So if I ever went back
I know what i'd say
To the girl that I was
To save her from that pain
But if I did then she would never go
On the journey that made her
So strong today
Guess mistakes are not always a waste
I gotta thank the times
I messed up and got myself bruised
You know
You never notice the highs
'Til you've been low until you lose, no
I can't say that I never regret
My mistakes that I never forget
As I get older I realize, the bad times
Are where the lessons lie
When it goes bad
Guess you always doubt it
Whether it was worth
Anything at all
But looking back
I'm no longer sad about it
You only learn to fly
When trying to get out
Of the bad free falls
So I gotta thank the times
I messed up and got myself bruised
You know
You never notice the highs
'Til you've been low until you lose, no
I can't say that I never regret
My mistakes that I never forget
As I get older I realize, the bad times
Are where the lessons
I gotta thank the times
I messed up and got myself bruised
You know
You never notice the highs
'Til you've been low until you lose, no
I can't say that I never regret
My mistakes that I never forget
As I get older I realize, the bad times
Are where the lessons lie
