Anyone can tell you that I'm no faint of heart
I'll fight fire with fire for the ones that I love
Like a broken needle, I can't penetrate the skin
Feel I'm on the outside looking in

But who am I to tell you what to do with your life?
Who am I to warrant what's wrong and what's right?
It's not my place and no matter what I say
You're gonna do what you want anyway
Thought I could remove the pain
But that's my foolish thinking

Anyone can argue that I'm nobody's fool
I saw heartbreak coming and I 
Knew it would be cruel (to you)
Tried to orchestrate a different kind of song
Move your mouth and hands to play along

But who am I to tell you what to do with your life?
Who am I to warrant what's wrong and what's right?
It's not my place and no matter what I say
You're gonna do what you want anyway
Thought I could remove the pain
That's my foolish thinking

Everybody's saying that you look old enough
Spent my nights praying that you'll grow up to be tough (you)
There's no use pretending that I'm okay when I'm not
Don't make the mistakes I made and then forgot

But who am I to tell you what to do with your life?
Who am I to warn what's wrong and what's right?
It's not my place, no matter what I say
You're gonna do what you want anyway
Thought I could remove the pain
Foolish thinking

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
(Ooh-ooh) I thought I could remove the pain
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) I thought I could remove the pain
Ooh-ooh, I thought I could remove the pain
Ooh-ooh, I thought I could remove the pain
Ooh-ooh, I thought I could remove the pain
Ooh-ooh, I thought I could remove the pain
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
I thought I could remove the pain
(You)
(You)
(You)
(You)
