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 on 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
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
