Reckless (Alternative Mix)

[Verse 1]

I've been trying to make sense

I've been shouting under my breath

How's any of this in my interest?

When you sold me out, I must've not got the cheque

Your lust is a lie, but it comes as no surprise

Time after time, it goes right past the line

I do my best to, to make amends with you

But I just can't see the end, oh

[Chorus]

Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you

I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R

Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you

I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R

Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you

I'm Mr. Reckless, and you're defenseless

[Verse 2]

And isn't it funny how

Those black clouds follow you around?

It's karma smiling down

Just let me know when it's in town

You act like the world owes you a favour

You want it all, but you don't like the taste, oh

You've been throwing bricks at my window

Like there's not better way to say hello

Hello

[Chorus]

Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you

I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R

Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you

I'm Mr. Reckless, and you're defenseless

[Post-Chorus]

The best you never had

The best you never had

The best you never had

The best you never had

[Bridge]

I'm the devil on your shoulder

I'm the conscious in your mind

I'm the feeling that you, you cannot hide

I'm the devil on your shoulder

Telling you that love is blind

It's ok when it's hiding in disguise

Your loose lips let, let words slide

You spend too much time talking about my life

Stories you will spin just for a power trip

It's safe to say that I'm not into it

In the picture, you were not

Someone's in your spot The result of people moving on

Good luck with killing time

You won't be killing mine

I'll do my best

To always be on your mind, your mind

I never once said I didn't need this

I can't wait to see how this one gets out

You were the first to question my achievements

But that's alright, my dreams I've been living

[Chorus]

Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you

I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R

Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you

I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R

Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you

I'm Mr. Reckless, and you're defenseless

[Post-Chorus]

The best you never had

The best you never had

The best you never had

The best you never had
