Careless Lyrics

Careless
Why must I be so careless?
I only want the best for you
Yes, I'm truly careless

Careful
Why hurt the one
I'll hold tonight?
Just when the feeling felt so right
Oh I should be careful

How many times should I apologize?
How many times should I cry?
I was lonely
Away from home
Feeling so alone
Just like now

Sleepless
How can I sleep knowing I hurt you so?
Maybe I'm crazy
I don't know
But if you'd go I'd be helpless

CHORUS

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
