I learned to tie my shoes
Before I hop on a bike.
I learned if you watch a pot.
It’ll never boil.
I learned, to listed
But not believe everything I’m told.
I learned to leave
Before I wear out my welcome.
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt.
I learned not to cry over spilt milk
Or my face would always be soaked with tears
I learned not to want anything too bad,
That way…no disappointments when I don’t get it.
I learned never to fall
Because no one will be there to catch me.
I learned to get used to life’s disappointments,
Because life’s full of them.
