*[Intro]** (Soft melodic hum, vulnerable) Ohh... so many years... ooww... Come around again... **[Verse 1]** Come around again, so many years in the rearview Sad to see you now, must've had such a bad turn, it's true Told you before you left, it's gonna be a hard lesson to learn Back now sniffin' around the block, tryna make your return Must've done you wrong 'cause you're like "let's talk," reconnect But the bridges got burned, no more love left to collect Heart still achin' from the way we fell apart Memories linger heavy, tearin' up my guarded heart *(Ad-libs: Ohh... ooww... the pain echoes... yeah...)* **[Chorus]** Hard lesson to learn, yeah it's comin' back around slow You in the shadows, reachin' where you let me go Sad to see you now after all these years unfold Tables turnin' quiet, feel the weight upon my soul Hard lesson to learn, told you before you walked out the door Back sniffin' the block, but my heart ain't open no more Ohh... hard lesson... ooww... Flowin' through the tears, leavin' scars on the floor **[Verse 2]** Come around again, so many years, still circlin' the flame Sad to see you now, bad turn got you callin' my name Told you before you left, it's gonna be a hard lesson to learn Back now sniffin' around the block, but the fire don't burn the same Must've done you wrong 'cause you're like "let's talk," seekin' grace Yet the wounds stay fresh, no rewritin' that empty space I moved on silent, turned the heartbreak into strength inside You lurkin' with regrets, but the trust already died *(Ad-libs: Ohh... ooww... nights I cried alone... yeah... feel it...)* **[Chorus]** Hard lesson to learn, yeah it's comin' back around slow You in the shadows, reachin' where you let me go Sad to see you now after all these years unfold Tables turnin' quiet, feel the weight upon my soul Hard lesson to learn, told you before you walked out the door Back sniffin' the block, but my heart ain't open no more Ohh... hard lesson... ooww... Flowin' through the tears, leavin' scars on the floor **[Bridge]** (Beat strips back, raw emotional spoken-sung flow) Told you before you left... ohh... hard lesson to learn... Back now... sniffin' around the block... ooww... Must've done you wrong... you're like "let's talk"... But the love we lost... it taught me how to walk... *(Ad-libs: Ohh... ooww... walk away... yeah...)* **[Verse 3]** Come around again, so many years, the cycle tries to repeat Sad to see you now, bad turn got you feelin' incomplete Told you before you left, it's gonna be a hard lesson to learn Back now sniffin' around the block, but the page won't turn Must've done you wrong 'cause you're like "let's talk," one more try Yet the past stays heavy, watchin' old feelings die I flow through the healing, observer of the pain we shared Your return's just a whisper, in the wind I'm prepared *(Ad-libs: Ohh... ooww... turned the hurt to gold... yeah... healing...)* **[Final Chorus / Outro]** Hard lesson to learn, yeah it's comin' back around slow You in the shadows, reachin' where you let me go Sad to see you now after all these years unfold Tables turnin' quiet, now I watch you fade in the cold Hard lesson... hard lesson... (fading harmonies) Ohh... ooww... told you before you left... Sniffin' around the block... but I'm movin' on... *(Ad-libs: Hard lesson... ohh... stay gone... ooww... flow on... yeah...)*
