Paroles de Whiplash

And I've got some stories people have fashioned into famous legends
From where they were once praised now I'll heed warning
To future generations
With pure intentions I wore no protection
Not factoring in harsh consequences
And pain I've inflicted to body and spirit
Will just bear reminder to ill-fated judgements

So learn from this what you will
I offer up these life stories my memories instilled
In turn these messages to you
Can't take back the whiplash that I put myself through

And I've spent some mornings beside perfect strangers
Whose names didn't ring a bell
I made false promises in between kisses which would never be upheld
And these one night stands became part of my plan
But as I sobered up I felt like less of a man
Now I've settled down with a girl and I've found giving it all up
Means she's worth keeping around

So learn from this what you will
I offer up these life stories my memories instilled
In turn these messages to you
Can't take back the whiplash that I put myself through
But I see each one as a blessing in disguise
A life experience.

So learn from this what you will
I offer up these life stories my memories instilled
In turn these messages to you
Can't take back the whiplash.
