Wisdom

[Verse 1]
Used to be a time when I would let myself go
I'd always let my sensitivity show
I called it honesty
It all seemed so right to me
Saw only kindness in a smiling face
Did not put feelings in their proper place
First love fatality
That nearly totaled me

[Verse 2]
But I thought it over for a month or two
Exchanged mt rationale for bitter truth
And I survived somehow
And I'm much wiser now
I built a wall around me, hard and cold
Protective blanket for my wounded soul
And I'll be hurt no more
Not like I hurt before

[instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
Now with my brand new personality
Insensitive people are attracted to me
But it keeps me from falling in love
I've had my share of love
And I'm much happier than I used to be
The fear of losing does not threaten me
I've got my peace of mind
Lots of free time

And I'm so lonely...
