No one ever told me that the day

Would hold so many misfortunes;

It seems like the night is the only thing

That holds the peace I once had.

No one ever taught me how to love;

I had to figure it out all on my own.

And no one told me who to stand up for;

The person who promises so much,

And means every word he says.

Or the people the people who I've known forever,

But tell me I've made a mistake.

No told me how to hate;

But I picked it up on my own.

No one told me how to see;

But I see just fine.

And no one told me how to choose;

And they shouldn't tell me.

I shouldn't have to.
