Cut my teeth, untie my tongue
I wasn't listening, so I was made example of
Good advice given often all too often gets old
And since I wasn't listening, I was made example of
They say that if you don't change where you're going
You're gonna end up right where you're headed
I couldn't see the cracks that were showing
The blind side of me had no way of knowing
Hindsight isn't helping me
I wasn't mindful, I wasn't minding anyone
My stubborn sails are full of an obstinate wind
I wasn't listening so I was made example of
I don't doubt it, I never doubted it for a second
It's just that I wasn't listening
They say that if you don't change where you're going
You're gonna end up right where you're headed
I couldn't see the cracks that were showing
The blind side of me had no way of knowing
