Lyrics:

Well, I learned at an early age
That hate can debilitate your power to see straight
Now that I am twenty-three
All of my memories, they don't weigh on me

So don't get too close to the water if you do not wanna get wet
Oh, 'cause the consequence of hate is just misery and regret

I said, get your act together
It's really all up to you
Life is always better
When you've got nothing to prove

Well, I've - I've been through the hurricane
The wind and the blinding rain and somehow I maintain

So don't get too close to the fire if you do not wanna get burned
Oh, 'cause the consequence of hate is just misery and concern

Oh, so get your act together
It's really all up to you
Life is always better
If you've got nothing to prove

Don't get too close to the fire if you do not wanna get burned
I said, do not get close to the fire if you do not wanna get burned
No, do not get close to the water if you do not wanna get wet
Oh, 'cause the consequence of hate is just misery and regret


Get your act together
It's really all up to you
Life is always better
If you've got nothing to prove
