My father told me don't be so hard
On yourself, it's getting easier
To see light in the dark
I said what about the man I loved
And the promise that we made
He said to just be thankful
That you made it out okay
They'll buy you things
Like big old diamond rings
And songs that they can sing
To take the guilt away
Honey you're alright
I know it's you who cries at night
But rest assured the ways of life
Won't stop without a fight
I know right now you're struggling
And feeling all alone
The boy that tore your heart out
Was somehow a sacred home
Every time you'd leave him
He'd pull a trick somehow
And now he's found another
Closed the curtain with a bow
They'll buy you things
Like big old diamond rings
And songs that they can sing
To take the guilt away
Honey you're alright
I know it's you who cries at night
But rest assured the ways of life
Won't stop without a fight
No one can be trusted
I know that's what you think
Drown yourself in numbers
As you pour another drink
Baby please don't do that
Put your future first
'Cause if you drive on down that road
You'll end up with the worst
They'll buy you things
Like big old diamond rings
And songs that they can sing
To take the guilt away
They'll tell you lies
You're gonna think you've compromised
But years fall off your life
And you're a person you despise
Don't fall for that garbage
Don't fall down at all
Even when you're stumbling
Walk like your 10 feet tall
I know you got it in you
To someday rule the world
Mansions and ocean sand
With your man or lady girl
