Take My Advice Kid

Take my advice kid, never love anyone.

People have a tendency of leaving, animals die.

You don’t want to feel the pain love brings,

That’s all the advice I have for you.

Never fall in love, it only leads to heartache—

Never give your heart away it was the death of me.

I saw Innocence everywhere, clear and paper-thin.

Nah kid, don’t even try—stay strong like travertine;

Love would be wasted on you anyway.

Your heart will miss beats; you’ll spend more time on

The floor than you would like and you’ll have trouble

Getting out of bed, rolling out more often than you’ll walk.

Don’t give your heart away, avoid love at all costs,

Don’t let your heart get the best of you,

You’re better off alone anyway, and shut up about your if only’s.

It’s much better to be lonely.

You’ll never have to watch her walk away,

She probably wouldn’t say goodbye anyway.

Don’t worry about being lonely, it’s better, trust me.

Never fall in love kid; you’ll never cry again,

Some tears don’t dry, you don’t need them.

Forget her kid, never fall in love.
