Lyrics

Careful

And you walked out when I asked you to stay
As usual, you'll get your way
You closed the door and stumbled down to the street
Where you wring your hands and you drag your feet there

Where the words can't find you
To crawl inside you

I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful, or you'll hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell
Careful, or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes

But you can't hide standing under these stars
They know everything, they know where you are
You're in your head, you're all turned around with it
And they're shining down their light to bring you back again

Back where I can find you
To crawl inside you

I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful, or you'll hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell
Careful, or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning

All you want to see is make-believe, it's nothing
But way down underneath

I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful you don't hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell
Careful, you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes
