Reckless kind
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.
Here we stand in sheets of rain
Parting ways, loved in vain
Never knew you'd be the reckless kind
I reached out to catch your fall
Said you needed a place to crawl
Never knew you'd be the reckless kind
The reckless kind, the reckless kind
The reckless kind, the reckless kind
You're his not mine
They say you run with a breakneck crowd
Live your love scenes right out loud
Break hearts all around, you're the reckless kind
You said you were well satisfied
Proud to see me by your side
Pride's a worthless thing to the reckless kind
The reckless kind, the reckless kind
The reckless kind, the reckless kind
You're his not mine
Love lies shattered on the ground
Jagged pieces all around
Say you'll come back but I know you're the reckless kind
Oh the reckless kind, the reckless kind
The reckless kind, the reckless kind
You're his not mine
His not mine
You're the reckless kind
The reckless kind
The reckless kind
