Something Gained

from Alone Time by Melissa Bel

/

about

A song about learning from the past instead of getting stuck in it.

lyrics

I believe in second chances...but I believe
In quitting while you’re still ahead
I never liked to watch the curtain fall
So I leave every show before it ends 

Don’t come back now that you’re gone
Spent all this time moving on

Can’t we just appreciate that people change 
Hard to see it when you’re young
You don’t know what’s right until you’ve gone wrong 
We only grow if we let go 
When it’s time to rearrange
There’s something lost but always something gained

Your apartment was a hideaway until it turned
From an oasis to a war
I guess you don’t remember it that way
‘Cause you keep begging me to come back for more

Hearts will break and bridges burn
They’re not mistakes, they’re lessons learned 

Can’t we just appreciate that people change 
Hard to see it when you’re young
You don’t know what’s right until you’ve gone wrong 
We only grow if we let go 
When it’s time to rearrange
There’s something lost but always something…

Good while it was good
Something you loved but you should 
Let it go walk away 
And tell yourself you’ll be ok 

‘Cause I believe in second chances...and I believe
In quitting while you’re still ahead

Can’t we just appreciate that we’ve changed
Couldn’t see it we were young
Didn’t know what’s right till it all went wrong 
Now we’ve grown, and I’ve let you go 
Don’t be scared to rearrange
There’s something lost but always something gained
