Careless
GEOFFROY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I gave you my heart but it couldn't open
It's been drifting around
Maybe it's broken
Maybe it's closed

I gave you my heart but it couldn't take it
All this making up
Just to find me gone

It can't be this hard to sustain any love
It can't be this hard to sustain any love

I've gone through it all
Took every fall
Nothing I'm proud of
But I was careless with love

I've gone through it all
Jumped every wall
Nothing I'm proud of
I'm still careless with love

I gave you my heart but it couldn't open
It's been drifting around
Maybe it's broken
Maybe it's closed
I gave you my heart but it couldn't take it
All this making up
Just to find me gone

It can't be this hard to sustain any love
It can't be this hard to sustain any love

I've gone through it all
Took every fall
Nothing I'm proud of
But I was careless with love

I've gone through it all
Jumped every wall
Nothing I'm proud of
I'm still careless with love

I gave you my heart but it couldn't open
It's been drifting around
Maybe it's broken
Maybe it's closed

I gave you my heart but it couldn't take it




All this making up
Just to find me gone
