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
