Nobody ever tells you what you need to know
about life and growing up.
Nobody ever tells you that you'll become the person
you never wanted to become,
that you'll become destructive from the inside out,
or that you may witness events which will cause you
to become emotionally numb.
Nobody ever tells you anything valuable,
that you're breakable and irreplaceable.
First get yourself burned,
Then you'll learn because remember:
Nobody
Ever
Tells
You.

Nobody ever tells you what you need to know
about life and growing up.
Nobody ever tells you that you'll become the person
you never wanted to become,
that you'll become destructive from the inside out,
or that you may witness events which will cause you
to become emotionally numb.
Nobody ever tells you anything valuable,
that you're breakable and irreplaceable.
First get yourself burned,
Then you'll learn because remember:
Nobody
Ever
Tells
You.
