LYRICS:

You said that you'd always stick by my side
When things get tough that in you I could confide, so where are you now?
You swore and you promised that you'd always be there
But when I call you don't show me that you care
Maybe it's time to let you go.

Right now I'm giving up on you, but I won't be giving up on love
In spite of what you put me through, I know my heart will learn to trust.
This is just a Lesson Learned to help me get to where I'm going.
So I'm moving on, moving on... I'm moving on, (yea) I'm moving on. (oohh, yea)

What do you do when the one that you love the most is the one who doesn't love you back anymore?
And it hurts you... What do you say when everything has changed?
Don't know how, don't know why, things will never be the same.
Maybe it's time to let you know.

Right now I'm giving up on you, but I won't be giving up on love
In spite of what you put me through, I know my heart will learn to trust.
This is just a Lesson Learned to help me get to where I'm going.
So I'm moving on, moving on... I'm moving on.

Seems like all the walls between us only came down just to build them up again.
I know we said we'd let nothing come between us, but this is gonna have to be the end.
It's gonna have to hurt and I know that we'll probably cry...
But we have to move on with the rest of our lives.

//Right now I'm giving up on you, but I won't be giving up on love
In spite of what you put me through, I know my heart will learn to trust.
This is just a Lesson Learned to help me get to where I'm going.
So I'm moving on, moving on... I'm moving on. // (yea) I'm moving on. (ooh, yea)

This is just a lesson learned (oohh), this is just a lesson learned... I'm moving on.

QUOTE:
(We put ourselves in positions in life and in love where we become so vulnerable.
Very few of us wear our hearts on our sleeves...
We express our love and gratitude for the ones we love and even dare to say that we can't live without them.
And they leave us scarred and bruised to the point where we've reached the end of the rope.
Forgive those who do wrong by you... and let them go.
Your happiness lies in your hands) -Johnny
