"Lesson Learned"

(Alicia Keys feat. John Mayer)

He broke my heart

And now it's raining

Just to rub it in

I'm at your door

I feel so crazy about it

You'll say I told you so

You saw it long ago

You knew he had to go

I finally came 'round

I'm back on solid ground

Can't let it get me down

It's alright

It's alright

It's alright

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned

Mistake overturned

So I call it a lesson learned

My soul has returned

So I call it a lesson learned

Another lesson learned

Sometimes

Some lies

Can take a minute

To fully realize

His tears

Your eyes

Thirty seconds to apologize

You give it one more chance

Just like the time before

But he already know you'd give a hundred more

Until that night in bed

You wake up in a sweat

You're racing to the door

Can't take it anymore

I was burned but I called it a lesson learned

Mistake overturned

So I call it a lesson learned

My soul has returned

So I call it a lesson learned

Another lesson learned

Life perfect

Ain't perfect

If you don't know what the struggle's for

Falling down ain't falling down

If you don't cry when you hit the floor

It's called the past cause I'm getting past

And I ain't nothing like I was before

You ought to see me now

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned

Mistake overturned

So I call it a lesson learned

My soul has returned

So I call it a lesson learned

Another lesson learned

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned

Mistake overturned

So I call it a lesson learned

My soul has returned

So I call it a lesson learned

Another lesson learned

I was burned but I called it a lesson learned

Mistake overturned

So I call it a lesson learned

My soul has returned

So I call it a lesson learned

This song relates to me because it explains how people can do things that can hurt you or in a deeper way of looking at it, is that you do make mistakes in life. Making mistakes in the song would be explained as being burned because when you get burned obviously its not on purpose, and when you make a mistake you learn from it and forgive your self or in other words you overturn the mistake. Then finally once you made your mistake and learned from it you move on with your life which can be explained as my soul has returned because you have accepted everything and learned from it. Even though this song is talking about a relationship and how it didn't work out, it relates to me because it explains that life isn't perfect and there are going to be struggles in life and thats how we grow as people from the hardships we go through. It also relates to me because it's saying to forgive and forget and to move on with your life, and that's what type of person I am. I do not dwell on things. I forgive and forget, because there are to many more important things in my life, than to just worry about what someone did to me or what ever mistake I made.
