Verse 1] You kept every old mistake Like pictures in a rusted frame Reading all the same old lines Hoping that the end would change Hands still shaking from that fall Heart replaying every scene But scars are just the proof you walked Through places you were not meant to be [Chorus] So don’t hold on to what broke you Hold on to the lessons learned Let the bridges that once burned Light the way to your return Yeah Don’t cling to all that hurt you Let it turn to something new Hold on to the lessons The lessons that pulled you through [Verse 2] You were carrying apologies For things you already paid Dragging every heavy “used to be” Through every brand new day But every tear that hit the floor Taught you who you really are You’re not the day you lost yourself You’re the one who made it this far (oh yeah) [Chorus] So don’t hold on to what broke you Hold on to the lessons learned Let the bridges that once burned Light the way to your return Yeah Don’t cling to all that hurt you Let it turn to something new Hold on to the lessons The lessons that pulled you through [Bridge] Let the old pain fade Keep the wisdom Not the weight You can bless that younger you For doing all they knew to do [Chorus] So don’t hold on to what broke you Hold on to the lessons learned Let the bridges that once burned Light the way to your return Yeah Don’t cling to all that hurt you Let it turn to something new Hold on to the lessons The lessons that carried you [Outro] Hold on to the lessons Not the hurt Not the hurt Hold on to the lessons You’re worth more than every word that burned
