What They Never Told Me
They taught me lessons, basic stuff
Don’t kill, don't steal, always tell the truth
Maybe diving deeper just seemed too much
Because in this life no one knows what to do
No one ever told me how to stand by a casket to small to hold an adult
Or how a broken heart hurts more than a broken foot ever could
How sometimes what i do doesn't matter or change results
No matter how much i hoped and prayed it would
They never told me the words to heal a broken soul
Never told me the remedy to a tortured mind
To accept things outside of my control
Or the right words and actions to save a life
So many things can’t be taught
Honestly, it's a hell of a lot more than i thought
