I Was Taught
(v1)
I was taught
If you have nothing good to say
Its good to say nothing
Social media changed the game
Instead of biting their tongue
Some prefer to inflict pain
(v2)
I was also taught
Its better to build others up
Then to tear them down
But not everyone agrees
Some would rather see
Others beg on their knees
(chorus)
Opinions, everyone has one
Many should be left unsaid
Others should be left unread
Hiding behind a screen
Allows hate to spread
And it can cut to the bone
Maybe take a break
Maybe, lose the phone
(v3)
But if you choose to comment
You will come under attack
There is little you can do
Its many against one
Youre facing a hate movement
And it cant be undone
Instrumental part
(bridge)
I was taught
To trust in yourself
Tune out the unfiltered hate
Dont let others set your mood
Like yourself for the right reasons
Dont let the movement intrude
(chorus)
Opinions, everyone has one
Many should be left unsaid
Others should be left unread
Hiding behind a screen
Allows hate to spread
And it can cut to the bone
Maybe take a break
Maybe, lose the phone
