[Intro: morning ambience, warm Rhodes, tape hiss, dry close vocal] So... One final goodbye Fu— [sudden sneeze] ...fuck's sake [laugh under breath] Nah You know what? Thank you [Verse 1: relaxed melodic rap, drums enter slowly] Thank you for the nights Thank you for the pain Thank you for reminding me Nothing stays the same Thank you for the future Even if it never came For every little promise I don't need to hate I spent too many nights Trying to understand Why somebody lets go When you're still holding hands Thought I needed answers Thought I needed truth Turns out all I really needed Was to make it through And I did Not clean Not quick Lost myself a little Found some other shit Some things broke Some things burned But I'm still here Lesson learned [Pre-Chorus: warm R&B harmony] I don't need another ending I don't need another word You've already taught me Everything I needed to learn [Chorus: smooth, confident earworm] Thank you Lesson learned Lost some love Life earned Step up Step on What's gone Is gone Thank you No return Let it hurt Let it burn Head up Move on Step up Step on [Post-Chorus: rhythmic low doubles] Lesson learned Life earned Step up Step on Lesson learned Life earned I'm gone [Verse 2: brighter pocket, confident melodic rap] Used to think the ending Meant everything was wasted Nah Some love ain't forever Still glad that I tasted it Some people are chapters Some people are scars Some show you who they are Some show you who you are And maybe that's enough I don't need to turn you bad Just to make myself feel tough Don't need some revenge Don't need you watching me win Don't need to make you regret Where you've already been That's your road This one's mine Funny how the darkest shit Eventually meets daylight I won't say I wouldn't change it If I could go back But I can't So fuck it— [sneeze] ...damn [laugh] There it is again [Pre-Chorus: harmonies widen] I don't need another ending I don't need another word You've already taught me Everything I needed to learn [Chorus: fuller groove] Thank you Lesson learned Lost some love Life earned Step up Step on What's gone Is gone Thank you No return Let it hurt Let it burn Head up Move on Step up Step on [Bridge: drums drop, intimate vocal] And goodbye For real this time Not because I stopped caring Because I finally understand Caring doesn't mean staying still You were part of my life You don't have to be The rest of it So wherever you go Go well I've got somewhere else to be [Final Chorus: brighter, controlled lift] Thank you Lesson learned Lost some love Life earned Step up Step on What's done Is done Thank you For what it was Thank me For surviving us Head up Move on Step up Step on [Final Refrain: beat reduces to bass, Rhodes and vocal] Lesson learned Life earned No bridge burned No return One life Move strong Step up Step on [Outro: instruments fall away, dry vocal] One final goodbye Fu— [pause] Nah Thank you Lesson learned Life earned Step up Step on [door closes softly]
