"Poetry" Lyrics

When I was 3
I'm with the boys
I'm tired of trees to fill the void
You see I wasn't main stream

Spit fire girl
I ruled the world
I pulled your hair if you take it there
I thought that nothing could faze me

If you never learn
Then you're gonna get burned
And you're never gonna get too far
(Never get too far)
I never knew fate from the mistakes I made
Don't make you who you are

This is my life but I found out the hard way
Oh, it's poetry, poetry
When will they learn that I can't be what they say
Oh, it's poetry, poetry

Just 17
Thought I knew it all
He be the one to make me fall
Guess I must have been crazy

The wrong man
I would understand
It must have been part of the plan
And I'll never do that again

If you never learn
Then you're gonna get burned
And you're never gonna get too far
(Never get too far)
I never knew fate from the mistakes I made
Don't make you who you are

This is my life but I found out the hard way
Oh, it's poetry, poetry
When will they learn that I can't be what they say
Oh, it's poetry, poetry
Poetry

This is my life but I found out the hard way
(Come tell me tonight)
Oh, it's poetry, poetry
When will they learn that I can't be what they say
(Must be stealing time)
Oh, it's poetry, poetry

Sun is hot in the afternoon
And sky is blue and the flowers bloom
Birds are singing
(Birds are singing)
Cellphone is ringing
(Cellphone is ringing)

The sun is hot in the afternoon
And sky is blue and the flowers bloom
It's my life for making mine
Cuz it doesn't have to rhyme

This is my life but I found out the hard way
(Come tell me tonight)
Oh, it's poetry, poetry
When will they learn that I can't be what they say
(Must be stealing time)
Oh, it's poetry, poetry
Poetry

This is my life but I found out the hard way
(Come tell me tonight)
Oh, it's poetry, poetry
When will they learn that I can't be what they say
(Must be stealing time)
Oh, it's poetry, poetry
