Now I made some mistakes
I lost some friends along the way
but I don't carry it
'cause it made me a better chick
it's my life and I know
that there's more for me to see
I may not be what I'm supposed to
but I can tell you right now
I'm not what I used to be
I remember
back when I didn't know which way to live
I remember
back when pain was all I had to give
the reflections of my life
I see the lessons that I've learned
and now I know
heartbreak don't exist
when it's been torn apart by love.
