Careless
Lynn Vera Lyrics

The lyrics of Lynn Vera's song - Careless - speak of a scenario where love was once desired and pursued, but now, the object of affection acts carelessly towards their love interest. The first stanza sets the scene by stating how love was all the subject ever wanted and that they answered "love's" call. In the following line, it is suggested that love has been attained, but the object of affection fails to cherish it. The chorus, which is also the song's title, emphasizes the carelessness of their actions. The subject is now in a position where they have become vulnerable due to their love, and the object of their affection appears to act thoughtlessly in everything they do, which may lead to heartbreak.

The second stanza draws attention to specific actions that prove the carelessness of the person the song is directed at. Any form of commitment or appointments made by the relationship is broken without remorse, leading to the fear of a broken heart by the person in love with them. Additionally, the line "Now that my bridges all are burned" paints a picture of a person who has left themselves with no other option than to be at the mercy of the one they love. The final line of the song ascertains whether the actions of the person the song is directed at are of carelessness or whether they genuinely care less for the subject.
