I've always been told that everyone loses
But no one told me these "scars" were just bruises
They'd go away as fast as they came
And my life would never have to be the same

I've always been told that everyone's different
But I didn't know I'd be judged for that
And that people would notice the things that I lack

No one ever told me I would waste my whole life fearing something that wasn't there
And loving someone who doesn't care

They didn't say I'd be waiting for something that'll never return
And making mistakes I've already made
And that I'd never learn

They always said everything would be alright
But did they know I'd cry myself to sleep every night?

They always said everyone makes mistakes
But I guess they didn't know what was at stake

I guess they didn't know I'd waste my whole life because of what they said
And the mistakes I've made I'll always dread

And only because of the things they never bothered to say
Would I end up living my life this way
