Lyrics

Careful What You Say

Tossing off the covers in the middle of the night
Echo's in this empty house glare as bright as any light
Staring at the shadows seeing every word
Wrap around the truth, it sounds so absurd
I crawl to bed and wonder if I'll ever sleep again
Waiting for the sunrise....

Can't take it back, it goes round my head
Every word that I said
Sleepless nights are the price you pay
Careful what you say

Breakfast is a lonely stare. Lunch is dust and mirrors
Dinner just a waste of time, served with cold leftover tears
Hour after hour, I keep trying to defend
How I won the war of words but lost you in the end
Exhausted by the memory there's nothing more to say
Except for maybe goodbye...

Can't take it back once the words are said (they go)
Round and round in your head
Sleepless nights are the price you pay
Careful what you say

I close my eyes and pray daylight comes soon
I've has a couple nights like that....how 'bout you
Trying just to get through...

Can't take it back, it goes round my head
Can't believe what I said
Sleepless nights, lonely days
Careful what you say

Can't take it back
Can't take it back
Stuck in my head, every word I said
Careful what you say
Careful what you say
It won't go away
