Cautious
Max Leone Lyrics

I thought I had it in my pocket
I believed I had everything under control.

I close the door after I lock it
I ensure that things are secure and in place before moving forward.

'Cause lately I've been feeling cautious
Recently, I've been extra careful and hesitant due to personal circumstances.

And maybe that's why it's ironic
It could be ironic that my cautiousness hasn't prevented me from getting hurt.

That nothing ever hurts me anymore
I've grown numb to pain because I've had enough of feeling sad and unhappy.

'Cause I was sick of being miserable
I was tired of feeling constantly sad or unhappy with my life.

And now I never feel emotional
I've become unattached to my emotions, perhaps to protect myself from getting hurt or feeling pain.

I'm too afraid to lose any control
I'm too scared to take risks and allow things to unfold naturally, fearing the repercussions of losing control.

Yeah, and it's nice to be all alone sometimes just to let it go
It's good to spend time alone to release built-up emotions and tension.

But lately the days have been feeling so long
Recently, my days have been dragging on, and I feel like I need a change of pace.

And maybe I don't have to be on my own
Perhaps I don't have to bear everything on my own and can ask for help or support.

But, I've been so paralyzed and lie to myself at night
However, I feel stuck and incapable of making decisions; I even deceive myself in the process.

The head and the heart never been so opposed
My mind and my emotions are at odds, and I don't know which to follow.

Meanwhile, I keep my eyes glued to the road
Despite everything, I remain vigilant and focused on my goals and the path ahead of me.

Wait a second, where'd you go?
Where did you disappear to all of a sudden?

I know it's been a month or so
It's been around a month since we've last spoken or seen each other.

I'll go in, wait in the car
I'll go inside and wait for you in the car, like usual.

You know me, I'm never far
I'm always around and available, just like you know me to be.

Silence on the radio
There's only silence on the radio, and things feel oddly quiet.

I'm not used to friends that come and go
I'm not accustomed to having friends that don't stick around or disappear without warning.

I used to keep them close
I used to keep my friends close to me, but things have changed.

I got too much safety
I have too many safety measures in place, and it's becoming suffocating and hindering me.

I've been up for three weeks
I've been staying up late or not sleeping for three weeks now, likely due to stress.

Someone come and save me
I'm reaching out for help and wishing that someone would rescue me from my situation.

I'm so sick of being cautious (Cautious)
I'm frustrated with constantly being careful and hesitant all the time.

Turning into something caustic (Caustic)
My cautiousness is leading me down a dangerous and negative path.

And I don't really know what caused it, I'll be fine
I'm not sure what triggered my current state, but I'm confident that I'll get over it.

I think I'll be fine
I believe that I'll be okay and that everything will work out.

Do I wanna be fine?
But do I even want everything to be just okay, or do I want something more?

It seems that I'm just fine
Despite what I'm feeling or going through, everything seems fine on the surface.

And it's fine
And that's okay for now.
