Careless
Danelle Sandoval Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These tears I’ve made went dry
Don’t know if I can take it
Can’t take it, won’t fake it
We push and pull we don’t give up
I think I’ve had enough
I’ll be the first to say it
I’ve got to, it’s time to
In pretending in a nightmare
I’m through no excuse
I don’t wanna stay the same ‘cause
We tried we tried
To push it aside
I know I know that
Your eyes can’t lie
And you think you think
That I, I’m not mad
But baby I can’t lie to you
Can’t stand the way I let you in
Fooled me once but I can’t let you have your way again
I’m over it, you are too but I don’t care
Be real there’s no use
In pretending in a nightmare
I’m through no excuse
I don’t wanna stay the same ‘cause
We tried we tried
To push it aside
I know I know that
Your eyes can’t lie
And you think you think
That I, I’m not mad
But baby I can’t lie to you
I don’t really feel the same
I don’t really care to stay‘
Cause you don’t really feel the same
Baby you don’t care to stay
You’re making me careless, careless, careless
But baby I can’t lie to you
We tried we tried
To push it aside
I know I know that
Your eyes can’t lie
And you think you think
That I, I’m not mad
But baby I can’t lie to you
