lyrics
You try to be honest, you try to be fair
but don't always get the same in return.
You have been betrayed, you have been ripped off
and you've been burned, oh you've been burned.
If it's made you wary, you've been made aware
sometimes you expect the worst, it's true.
But I guess it must be scary 'cos I'm kind of scared
it's bringing out the worst in you.
Reach a little farther, he of little faith.
A little goes a long way, I am told.
But when you try to be more open,
you try to open up, the effort feels absurd.
If you're always honest, if you're always fair
you know you won't always get the same in return.
Nothing could be worth it, nothing's what you've got.
When we get burned, what do we learn?
Ooh, don't, please, don't think, don't think
it'll always be like this,
it won't.
but don't always get the same in return.
You have been betrayed, you have been ripped off
and you've been burned, oh you've been burned.
If it's made you wary, you've been made aware
sometimes you expect the worst, it's true.
But I guess it must be scary 'cos I'm kind of scared
it's bringing out the worst in you.
Reach a little farther, he of little faith.
A little goes a long way, I am told.
But when you try to be more open,
you try to open up, the effort feels absurd.
If you're always honest, if you're always fair
you know you won't always get the same in return.
Nothing could be worth it, nothing's what you've got.
When we get burned, what do we learn?
Ooh, don't, please, don't think, don't think
it'll always be like this,
it won't.
