Every time I'm told, go left,
I end up turning right,
When everyone points out a problem,
I think every thing's all right,
And while most seem to find it scary,
I love walking alone at night.
All the signs that said don't,
I've always, always ignored,
Yeah I, tend to pick the worst hobbies,
Whenever I get bored.
All the times that I've veered off track,
And never got back on the straight and narrow,
All the times I've dived in too deep,
Just 'cause I didn't like the shallows.
I know the seven deadly sins,
Yeah they're all good friends of mine,
It doesn't matter what foot I put forward
I never walked in a straight line.
Well (I guess) I'm just another bad example,
Of how to lead this life,
All the times I've gone far wrong,
When I was trying to do right,
All the sunrises I have missed 'cause,
I fell in love with the night,
And all the times dreams have shattered,
When I'd promised to hold 'em tight.
The kids I meet, they love me,
Their parents not so much,
I guess I never lost ,
That attitude kinda touch.
I'm a little wild sometimes,
But I get called naive,
And all my hopes are dead but,
There's life inside of me.
I live on the edge of life,
But I'm too scared to fall,
I get trapped by the stars,
When I rise above it all
And well (I guess) I'm just another bad example,
Yeah of how to lead this life,
All the do's I've swapped for don'ts,
And all the wrongs for rights,
All the dreams I have killed
Trying to keep this life,
And I always seem to let go,
When I'm counting on holding tight
I've seen through many pairs of eyes,
And still ain't got my perspective right,
I've often wondered what my role is,
But today I, well I finally realised,
I've been assigned as the bad example,
Of How to lead this life.
