Sharp Edges
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, 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
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
