It's There For a Reason

Trust your instinct
It saves you in a long run
And it’s there for a reason
To protect you
And to save you from making bad mistakes
A lot of times our instinct tells us something
But we go around it
And making excuses trying to explain it away 
Don’t want to see it for it really is
You will see later that your instinct is right after all
You don’t want to accept the fact 
So you explain it away
Don’t, my friend
If it tells you something
Listen to it
So you won’t be making a fool of yourself 
Just like I did
Live and learn
But learn though, okay?
