Mother taught me not to give too much away
F# G# A#m
Father taught me tender hearts are bound to break

Said one thing, they did the other
A#m
Now I'm good at friends but I'm bad at lovers
[Pre-Chorus]
F# G# A#m
Oh, oh, there I go giving my heart away
A#m
Thought it would heal the pain
F# G# A#m
Oh, oh, there I go making the same mistakes
Don't wanna start again
