Take My Advice
IT'S FUNNY HOW PEOPLE
COME TO ME FOR ADVICE
LIKE IM THE BEST ONE
TO GIVE TIPS ON THIS LIFE
YES THE ROAD I WALKED
WAS LONG AND VERY TRYING
BUT I HELD MYSELF UP TALL
WHEN I FELT LIKE DYING
SO LESSONS I HAVE LEARNED
EXPERIENCES NOW UNDER MY BELT
I DID NOT BREAK DOWN
FROM PRESSURES I FELT
WHY IS IT THAT EVERYONE
FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH ME
THEY SHARE THEIR DELIMAS
IN RETURN OF ADVICE FOR FREE
I LISTEN WITH EARS OPEN
MY OPINION DOES NOT JUDGE
I TRY TO HELP THE BEST I CAN
WITH ADVICE AND A LITTLE NUDGE
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
AWAY FROM WHAT IS TOXIC
USE THE ADVICE I GAVE
PLEASE DONT BE THOUGHTLESS
THHOUGH THAT'S HOW I AM
I GIVE ADVICE TO ALL
BUT I WONT TAKE MY OWN
WHY WONT I MAKE THAT CALL
WHY DO I DO THAT
A HYPOCRATE OF MY WORDS
I HELP EVERYONE ELSE
BUT MYSELF I FEEL WORSE
A FOOL IS WHAT I AM
NUMB TO WHAT IS BEST
THE ADVICE I ONCE GAVE
I SHOULD TAKE AND INVEST
MAYBE TAKE CARE OF MYSELF
WITH THE WORDS I HAVE SAID
TAKE MY ADVICE, AFTERALL
THE WORDS CAME FROM MY HEAD
PEOPLE TRUST ME TO HELP
GIVE ADVICE THEY CAN USE
NEVER THOUGHT TO TAKE IT
IT WAS MEANT ONLY FOR YOU
BUT I CAN SEE IT NOW
THEY CAME TO ME FOR A REASON
TO HELP THEM GET THROUGH
THEIR BAD TIME OF A SEASON
THEY SMILED AND THANKED ME
IT HELPED IT WAS NICE
SO I THOUGHT TO MYSELF
I SHOULD TAKE MY ADVICE
