Reckless (Live At Wembley, UK / 2012)

[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 you go right past the line

I do my best to

To make amends with you

But I just can't see the end

[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]

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 favor

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

You've been throwing bricks at my window

Like there's no 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 am not into it

In the picture, you are not

Someone else is in your spot

This is 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, mind

I never once said I didn't mean this

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

You are 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– lets go

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
