Lyrics
Reckless
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.
Pulling away, pulling away, pulling the truth out of me
Watch it unravel, coming apart at the seams
You've seen darkness and rain, heartache and pain
Nothing but memories left
You're the only mistake that I know I will never forget
I held on to your heart, and I played my part
Knowing you couldn't let go
I crushed it to sands in the palm of my hand
If only you'd just get them oh
Why did you trust me, oh
It's something so precious
Oh, why did you love me, oh
I'm sorry I'm reckless
Why did you?
Why did you?
All these things that I've done, the battles I've won
They've taken the fight out of me
A twist of the knife, now I'm just watching you bleed
You knew from the start this could tear you apart
If only you'd just let me be
You said we could be better but I know it's better for me
Why did you trust me, oh
It's something so precious
Oh, why did you love me, oh
I'm sorry I'm reckless
Why did you?
Why did you trust me, oh
It's something so precious
Oh, why did you love me, oh
I'm sorry I'm reckless
Why did you?
