Here's what I'm not gonna teach you That you should be afraid to try Or if you aren't good you'll get a lump of coal Or swim in fire when you die I won't teach you you're not enough Or that you need to fit in Or there's a vengeful god in the sky Keeping track of all your sins What a scary thing to know, the gravity that hangs on my voice I don't know what I'm doing But I know what I've got Sometimes when I don't know who I am I make a list of what I'm not It's just me and your mama building our little team Hoping everything we do and don't teach you Helps you grow little wings Here's what I'm not gonna teach you That you should always get the shiny new toy Don't give your cares to those who compare They'll steal away your joy I don't wanna teach you the good die young SongtexteOr the lie about greener grass Or that boys don't cry Or your momma and I will love you less if you come in last It's a scary thing to know, the gravity that hangs on my voice I don't know that I'm doing But I know what we've got Sometimes when I don't know who I am I make a list of what I'm not It's just me and your mama making it up as we go Hoping everything we do and don't teach you Helps your little wings grow Me and your mama building our little team Hoping everything we do and don't teach you Helps you grow little wings Grow little wings Grow little wings Aus Songtexte Mania
