Both the Lesson

[Verse 1]
You taught my guarded heart to open up again,
To let somebody close, to trust somebody in.
I thought we’d keep the promise that we made,
Then watched your words fall quiet in the space.

[Chorus]
Thank you for the love you helped me find,
Even if you left some hurt behind.
You disappointed me, but still I know:
My heart can trust, my heart can grow.

[Verse 2]
I won’t erase the good because it ended wrong,
Or say the sweetest moments weren’t real all along.
You showed me I could feel, not just survive,
And that part of me is still alive.

[Bridge]
I’m holding both the lesson and the ache,
The love you gave, the trust I’ll choose to make.

[Outro]
Thank you for teaching my heart to try—
I’ll carry that, though we said goodbye.
