I Only Know What I've Been Told Lyrics

Mrs. Mom wakes up every morning and washes away her tears

Takes a walk in the scorching sun just wasting away the years

She makes a right on Offspring Street and wishes she was dead

For it reminds her of the nights with no sleep just laying in her bed

She said

I only know what I've been told in the long run

And at three years old my mom up and left to England

I guess I never learned my lesson

You see words of wisdom I detested them

On this regular route, she passes by a door

Behind it, there's a house and in it so much more

This time she goes and knocks on that wooden gate

Her baby boy answers and at the site of her bursts into flames of hate

She replied

I only know what I've been told in the long run

And at three years old my mom up and left to England

I was told not to have one of my own

And if, if I did, I should abandon it in the cold

I guess I never learned my lesson

You see words of wisdom I detested them

I only listened to the negative

And thought screw the rest of em'

Mom I've had enough you keep coming back for more

Mom don't you remember you left me when I was four

And ever since that day you left me in the rain

The drops trickle down my face as I pray and pray

For you to be gone

I only know what I've been told in the long run

And at three years old my mom up and left to England

I was told not to have one of my own

And if, if I did, I should abandon it in the cold

I guess I never learned my lesson

You see words of wisdom I detested them

I only listened to the negative

And thought screw the rest of em'
