Should've been easy, but it wasn't.
Should be painless, but it's not.
Should've seen the truth in you, but I didn't.
Should've done a lot of things so what; so what?
If it hadn't been for losing you, I'd still be back in Jackson
Settling for settling, and getting what I got.
But where I am, and who I am, was well-worth every lesson.
Guess you could say I've learned a lot.
Yeah, you broke my heart so what?
Could've cried a river for you, but I wouldn't
I could've just laid down and given up.
Could've tried to be somebody I wasn't.
I could have asked her name for what; for what?
If it hadn't been for losing you, I'd still be back in Jackson
Settling for settling, and getting what I got.
But where I am, and who I am, was well-worth every lesson.
Guess you could say I've learned a lot.
Yeah, you broke my heart so what?
So what if it hurt me for a little while?
So what if some teardrops had to fall?
So what if I never thought I'd love again.?
I know I'm better for it all.
If it hadn't been for losing you, I'd still be back in Jackson
Settling for settling, and getting what I got.
But where I am, and who I am, was well-worth every lesson.
Guess you could say I've learned a lot.
Yeah, you broke my heart so what?
Yeah, you broke my heart so what?
