Practice What You Preach

[Verse 1] You taught me how to stand up On two feet Head, heart and hands up Giving everything You said, “When everyone follows, be the one to lead” You said, “Hit the ground running down the road less traveled” (Hit the ground running down the road less traveled) [Verse 2] You taught me how to love somebody Just like you You taught me how to leave somebody And it's hard to do You said keep my shit together when the world unravels Oh-oh-oh And put a brave face on in the heat of the battle So that's what I did [Chorus] When you said, “Navigate with your heart Even if it's gonna lead you down to head rock bottom Go and pick up your head Even if the higher ground is the place you've forgotten May your actions speak louder than words Give them hell as hard as it hurts” 'Cause that's what I learned from you So take it from me Practice what you preach [Verse 3] The greatest pretends How they forget to remember Who they are fooling Oh, who they are in the first place Don't shy away from the mirror Don't complicate it, it couldn't be clearer Just burn that disguise ‘Cause I see you, I see me, I see us I see all the years looking at you All the years that you lost but you never found I see fear looking dead at you So give ‘em hell at Heaven's gate [Chorus] When you said, “Navigate with your heart Even if it's gonna lead you down to head rock bottom Go and pick up your head Even if the higher ground is the place you've forgotten May your actions speak louder than words Give them hell as hard as it hurts” 'Cause that's what I learned from you So take it from me Practice what you preach [Bridge] I see a little kid crying in you I see a little kid dressed in their Sunday best Well, I'm a little kid crying at you Don't you see me now? Don't you hear me now? Oh Wherever you lead, I will follow Yesterday, today, and tomorrow You're spinning all around out there All alone out there But your home's right here, yeah [Chorus] When you said, “Navigate with your heart Even if it's gonna lead you down to head rock bottom (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Go and pick up your head Even if the higher ground is the place you've forgotten (It's the place you've forgotten) May your actions speak louder than words (Louder than words) Give them hell as hard as it hurts” (As hard as it hurts) 'Cause that's what I learned from you So take it from me Practice what you preach [Outro] Oh-oh-oh-oh Practice what you preach Oh-oh-oh-oh
