"Careful" Lyrics - Paramore

Lyrics

“Careful”


I settled down

A twisted up frown

Disguised as a smile, well

You would have 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


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


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

More

More

More

More, more
