Lyrics

[Intro] We'd like to play something for you that we worked up today in the dressing room [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 1] Mama always told me, "Don't you run Don't you run with scissors, son You're gonna hurt someone" Mama told me, "Look before you leap Always think before you speak Watch the friends you keep" [Pre-Chorus] Stay along the beaten path Never listened when she said [Chorus] "Sharp edges have consequences", I Guess that I had to find out for myself Sharp edges have consequences, now Every scar is a story I can tell [Verse 2] Should've played it safer from the start Loved you like a house of cards, let it fall apart But all the things I couldn't understand Never could've planned made me who I am Put your nose in paperbacks Instead of smoking cigarettes, these are years you're never getting back [Pre-Chorus] Stay along the beaten path Never listened when she said [Chorus] "Sharp edges have consequences", I Guess that I had to find out for myself Sharp edges have consequences, now Every scar is a story I can tell [Bridge] We all fall down, we live somehow We learn - what doesn't kill us makes us stronger We all fall down, we live somehow We learn - what doesn't kill us makes us stronger Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh [Pre-Chorus] Put along the beaten path, never listened when she said [Chorus] "Sharp edges have consequences", I Guess that I had to find out for myself Sharp edges have consequences, now Every scar is a story I can tell [Outro] We all fall down, we live somehow We learn - what doesn't kill us makes us stronger We all fall down, we live somehow We learn - what doesn't kill us makes us stronger Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh [Spoken Outro: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda] Man, playing guitar and singing is really hard Dude, Mike is back here, like, playing drums, playing keyboards, guitars, rapping, and I'm like, all five thumbs *Laughter* You wanna take a break from playing guitar and singing for a minute then?
