Broken Paths

Mama told me to be nice

Don't you run away again

You're gonna hurt someone

My aunt told me look before you leap

Always watch the friends you keep

Stayed along the broken path

Never listened when she said

Bad things have consequences

I guess that I had to find out that for myself

Bad things have consequences now

I guess that I had to find that out for myself

Loved you like a house of cards

I let it fall apart

But all the things I couldn't understand

I never could have planned

It made me who I am

Put your face in plastic bags

Instead of taking drugs

Your life will only fall apart

I stayed along the broken path

Never listened when she said

Being bad has consequences

I guess that I should have found that out for myself

Being bad has consequences

I guess that I had to find that out for myself

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

Stayed along the broken path

I never listened when she said

Being bad has consequences

I guess that I had to find that out for myself

Being bad has consequences

I guess that I had to find that out for myself
