V1.
She’s coming in hot. Both barrels blazing
All chaos and crazy, But she looks amazing
She don’t pull punches when she’s drinking
That requires some quick thinking

I’ll just turn the other cheek
Hold my tongue instead of speak
Girl, unload the weight that’s on your chest
Then I’ll just close the door and get some rest

Chorus
I don’t need to live it to learn it
Seen it with my own two eyes
I don’t need to light it and burn it
Scorching bridges ain’t that wise
I could call her out, expose her lies
Cut her off and break those ties
Yeah I know she damn sure earned it
But I don’t need to live it to learn it

V2.
Every action don’t need a reaction
I won’t respond to every attack
I could use a little less drama
Spoken words can’t be taken back

Chorus
I don’t need to live it to learn it
Seen it with my own two eyes
I don’t need to light it and burn it
Scorching bridges ain’t that wise
I could call her out, expose her lies
Cut her off and break those ties
Yeah I know she damn sure earned it
But I don’t need to live it to learn it

Bridge
My hindsight don’t need glasses
‘Cos I can’t see it if it’s ashes

Chorus
I don’t need to live it to learn it
Seen it with my own two eyes
I don’t need to light it and burn it
Scorching bridges ain’t that wise
I could call her out, expose her lies
Cut her off and break those ties
Yeah I know she damn sure earned it
But I don’t need to live it to learn it

Yeah I know she damn sure earned it
But I don’t need to live it to learn it
