Careful

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.

I settled down, a twisted up frown

Disguised as a smile, well you would've never known

I had it all, but not what I wanted

'Cause hope, for me, was a place uncharted and overgrown

You'd make your way in

I'd resist you just like this: You can't tell me to feel

The truth never set me free

So I did it myself

You can't be too careful anymore

When all that is waiting for you

Won't come any closer

You've got to reach out a little more, more, more, more, more

Open your eyes like I opened mine

It's only the real world, a life you will never know

Shifting your weight to throw off the pain

Well, you can ignore it, but only for so long

You look like I did

You resist me just like this: You can't tell me to heal

And it hurts remembering

How it felt to shut down

Can't be too careful anymore

When all that is waiting for you

Won't come any closer

You've got to reach out a little more, more, more, more, more

The truth never set me free

The truth never set me free

The truth never set me free

So I'll do it myself

You can't be too careful anymore

When all that is waiting for you

Won't come any closer

You've got to reach out

Can't be too careful anymore

When all that is waiting for you

Won't come any closer

You've got to reach out a little more, more, more, more, more
