Life's Lessons Unveiled: Gabe Baker's Wisdom in 'Things I've Been Learning'
Lyrics
You don't know what you got until it's gone
You may not appreciate what you have until it's no longer there.
And sometimes love walking out is what you needed all along
Sometimes, the departure of love is a necessary and positive change.
And it's okay to cry in private or in public
It's acceptable to express your emotions, whether privately or publicly.
You may think it changes how they see you
Crying doesn't necessarily alter how others perceive you.
But it doesn't
Others don't really care about the state of your living space.
No one really cares if your place is a mess
Human understanding acknowledges the busyness of life.
Cause anyone who's human knows how busy life can get
You're not demanding too much; you might be asking the wrong person.
You ain't asking for too much
These are insights the singer has gained.
You're just asking the wrong person
You can prioritize your needs without seeking approval.
These are a few
A reminder that these lessons are a part of the singer's learning journey.
Of the things that I've been learning
You have the freedom to do what's best for yourself.
You can do what's right for you
You don't need permission to take care of your well-being.
Without their permission
If you're struggling, it's okay to express it openly.
If you're not ok, just say it
Keeping your struggles hidden is not necessary.
Don't have to keep it hidden
Life's journey is not a shortcut; it takes time and effort.
Life's not a short cut, it's the long way around
Loss is inevitable before finding something valuable.
And everything is lost before it's found
Social media images may not reflect reality; they're illusions.
Filtered photos on your phone are only an illusion
Comparisons steal joy and are not worth losing time over.
Comparisons the thief of joy and time that ain't worth losing
You ultimately live with yourself, so self-love is crucial.
No one has to live with you but you
These are lessons the singer has gathered from their experiences.
So ya oughta love that person
Strive to do your best, take breaks, and connect with loved ones.
These are a few
The time spent with loved ones is never enough.
Of the things that I've been learning
Remember that others also face challenges; you're not alone.
Do your best, get some rest and call the ones you love
These are ongoing lessons in the singer's life.
The time that you have left with them is never quite enough
Continuously learn, grow, and appreciate the journey.
Try not to forget
Reflect on the pain, but know that others share similar experiences.
You ain't only one who's hurting
These are the singer's personal insights and growth.
These are a few
Continual learning and self-discovery are part of life.
Of the things that I've been learning
These lessons contribute to the singer's overall understanding.
These are a few
Life is a journey of learning, and these are a few of the singer's lessons.
Of the things that I've been learning
These insights represent the singer's evolving understanding of life.
