You Can't Be Wise and in Love at the Same Time

A smart man once said
"You can't be wise and be in love at the same time"
That's something I've come to realize
I did my best to save my life

You miss those days you felt so young
You miss that face before the damage was done
To stubborn to back down, you know I can't be ground
Saying these things out loud
To stubborn to back down, you know I can't be ground
Saying these things out loud

You think I'm wrong tonight, But I swear I'm right, I'm not fooling around
Oh and I know you don't need my advice
But after tonight just get out of this town
Get out of this town
Get out of this town

don't let these scares on my skin
If you want to see the damage just look within
It's underneath, its buried deep, but now its surfacing

You miss those days you felt so young
You miss that face before the damage was done
To stubborn to back down, you know I can't be ground
Saying these things out loud
To stubborn to back down, you know I can't be ground
Saying these things out loud

You think I'm wrong tonight, But I swear I'm right, I'm not fooling around
Oh and I know you don't need my advice
But after tonight just get out of this town
