Mama always told me
don't you run
Don't you run
with scissors son
You're gonna
hurt someone
Mama told me
look before you leap
Always think
before you speak
and watch the friends
you keep
Stay along
the beaten path
Never listened
when she said
Sharp edges have
consequences I
guess that I had to
find out for myself
Sharp edges have
consequences now
every scar is
a story I can tell
Should've played it
safer from the start
Loved you like
a house of cards
Let it fall apart
But all the things
I couldn't understand
never could've planned
They made me who I am
Put your nose
in paperbacks
instead of
smoking cigarettes
These are years you're
never getting back
Stay along
the beaten path
Never listened
when she said
Sharp edges have
consequences I
guess that I had to
find out for myself
Sharp edges have
consequences now
every scar is
a story I can tell
We all fall down
We live somehow
We learn what
doesn't kill us
makes us stronger
We all fall down
We live somehow
We learn what
doesn't kill us
makes us stronger
Ooh ooh ooh
Stay along
the beaten path
Never listened
when she said
Sharp edges have
consequences I
guess that I had to
find out for myself
Sharp edges have
consequences now
every scar is
a story I can tell
We all fall down
We live somehow
We learn what
doesn't kill us
makes us stronger
We all fall down
We live somehow
We learn what
doesn't kill us
makes us stronger
Ooh ooh ooh
