Lyrics
Careful What You Wish For
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Only in madness do you find beautiful death
And only in sadness do you feel happy instead
Be careful what you wish for
Because you don’t know the guilt I carried this far all on my own
It’s nothing you want to feel
So let it go
Don’t wait for the dust to settle
Don’t wait till it’s not enough
Don’t wait for the world to let go of the both of us
Don’t wait for the dust to settle
Don’t wait till you’ve had enough
Don’t wait for the world to let go or to give you up
The silence is one thing that I’ll remember you said
Well it’s better than nothing when nothing’s all that you left
Be careful what you wish for
Because you don’t know the guilt I carried this far wasn’t my own
It’s nothing you want to feel
So let it go
Don’t wait for the dust to settle
Don’t wait till it’s not enough
Don’t wait for the world to let go of the both of us
Don’t wait for the dust to settle
Don’t wait till you’ve had enough
Don’t wait for the world to let go or to give you up
If you need a place to hang your head a shoulder’s better than a knot
You’d be a better memory alive rather than not
If you need a place to hang your head a shoulder’s better than a knot
You’d be a better memory if no one else forgot
So let it go
Don’t wait for the dust to settle
Don’t wait till it’s not enough
Don’t wait for the world to let go of the both of us
Don’t wait for the dust to settle
Don’t wait till you’ve had enough
Don’t wait for the world to let go or to give you up
I'm not giving up
So don’t you give up
I'm not giving up
So don’t you give up
