foolish thinking

Anyone can tell you that I'm no faint of heart
I'll fight fire with fire for the ones that I love
Like a broken needle, I can't penetrate the skin
Feel I'm on the outside looking in

But who am I to tell you what to do with your life?
Who am I to warrant what's wrong, and what's right?
It's not my place, no matter what I say
You're gonna do what you want anyway
Thought I could remove the pain
But that's my foolish thinking

Anyone can argue that I'm nobody's fool
I saw heartbreak coming and I knew it would be cruel (to you)
Tried to orchestrate a different kind of song
Move your mouth and hands to play along

But who am I to tell you what to do with your life?
Who am I to warrant what's wrong, and what's right?
It's not my place, no matter what I say
You're gonna do what you want anyway
Thought I could remove the pain
But that's my foolish thinking

Everybody's saying that you look old enough
I spent my nights praying that you grow up to be tough
There's no use pretending that I'm okay when I'm not
Don't make the mistakes I made and then forgot

But who am I to tell you what to do with your life?
Who am I to warrant what's wrong, and what's right?
It's not my place, no matter what I say
You're gonna do what you want anyway
Thought I could remove the pain
Foolish thinking

I thought I could remove the pain
I thought I could remove the pain
I thought I could remove the pain
I thought I could remove the pain
I thought I could remove the pain
I thought I could remove the pain

I thought I could remove the pain
