Thanks for the lessons

An empowerment song. Don't let others keep hurting you or taking you for granted. You deserve Love and Happiness too. You only get one Life... So enjoy it! Thanks for the lessons By Michelle Morris 20/04/2025 You said you were happy And seriously, why wouldn't you be? You got everything you wanted And somehow you think you've handled me Because I've kept silent Kept my own counsel No longer sharing My feelings or experiences But somehow you have denied it all Because nothing has changed here You keep doing that **** you're doing And I'm here expected to pick up the pieces (every time) But like Mother Nature's rage I'm going to explode if I don't walk away My instincts have been honed And I know that you'll never change You'll always be in control mode You'll always want everything your way No matter the consequences for others No matter the heartbreak and betrayal So thanks for the lessons Not so much for the memories Thanks for reminding me of Who you'll never be So, thanks for the lessons My worth is way more than you can see I'm going to hit the highway now Time to explore my Destiny My bags are in the car And I'm on my way now You're standing at the door Surprised that I'm actual leaving You never thought it would happen You thought I'd always be your doormat But I feel more like a magic carpet And I'm going to explore that No more taking a lack of effort No more accepting less than best No more making excuses for your actions No more thinking about possibilities Because I deserve Love and Happiness And I get to choose my Life Path I deserve Peace and Comfort Knowing I'm building a Partnership So thanks for the lessons Not so much for the memories Thanks for reminding me of Who you'll never be So, thanks for the lessons My worth is way more than you can see I'm going to hit the highway now Time to explore my Destiny So thanks for the lessons Not so much for the memories Thanks for reminding me of Who you'll never be So, thanks for the lessons My worth is way more than you can see I'm going to hit the highway now Time to explore my Destiny I'm planning on being happy And hell, without you, why wouldn't I be? Oh, yeah! Yeah! © Michelle Morris, 2025
