Stupid Me

 

At strike one I should have been Leary

At strike two I should have known the real deal

By strike three I simply should have been gone 

They tell you to always turn the other cheek 

They say “give um another chance”

But how many times can someone sing the same ol song

You should always listen to your very first instinct

I know it’s hard

But that little voice knows more about life then you do

I know you want to lead with your heart 

But you simply can’t

Because your heart is for loving others, but that little voice loves you

I’ve learned my lessons the hard way

Because I was stubborn

I could have saved myself a lot of heartache and agony

 

I thought I knew better

And for thinking that I paid a price

And all I can say to myself is ...Stupid Me
