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
