Nowadays you need to be strong
You give and take just to get along
I gave it all and I was true
You turned my heart black and blue
You took my heart, and twist it around
I gave it all, and then you put me down
I knew you were too good to be true
You turned my heart black and blue
My Papa always told me, son learn from your mistakes
But you taught me a lesson, I just don't know how to take
So now I've learned, from what I've found
Keep my eyes wide open, and my feet on the ground
Now I'm strong, and I refuse, to let my heart turn black & blue
