"Sharp Edges"

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 
Oooh oooh, ooh ooh 
Oooh oooh, ooh ooh 
Oooh oooh, 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 
Oooh oooh, ooh ooh 
Oooh oooh, ooh ooh 
Oooh oooh, ooh ooh
