Carelessly
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.
How carelessly
You gave me your heart
And carelessly I broke it, sweetheart
I took each tender kiss you gave to me
Every kiss made you a slave to me
Then carelessly
I told you good-bye
But now at night I wake up and cry
I wish I knew a way to find the love
I threw away so carelessly
