Going Outta Style

Be careful in a world whose morals seem so cold Don't let negative surroundings hold you back from being bold Find someone who retains your youth, not someone who makes you old and if life has the upper hand you don't always have to fold I loved a few back in my day I slowly drove them all away I didn't know the things to say To make any of them want to stay and my heart will mold, rust and decay From excuses of pain, fear and dismay Learn to walk away when you're stuck talking to a wall you don't have to try again if they don't return your call try and find that person there to catch you when you fall show them how to walk when life forces them to crawl Don't get tricked by every wink or the gleam in every smile You might not like what you see once you've talked with them a while That's why you need a sort of test run or preliminary trial Because some woman will wear you like you're going outta style I loved a few back in my day I slowly drove them all away I didn't know the things to say To make any of them want to stay and my heart will mold, rust and decay From excuses of pain, fear and dismay So keep your heart wide open but make sure your eyes stay peeled because it's amazing when you find true love but it's painful when your hopes are killed Because at that point no one can save you until you know if all your wounds are healed and that's when you let no one in, that's when you create a shield I loved a few back in my day I slowly drove them all away I didn't know the things to say To change and make them want to stay and my heart will mold, rust and decay until these demons I decide to slay
