Momma always told me "don't you run,
Don't you run with scissors, son
You're gonna hurt someone"
Momma 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
All the things I couldn't understand
Never could've planned
Made me who I am
Put your nose in paperbacks
Instead of smoking cigarettes
These 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
