Drop your guard, I'll get to know you
Simon says it's time to move
And God only knows I think about you
'Cuz it's never time to show and prove
It's never time to show and prove
Hiding all the time destroys me
Never know what's right to do
I only needed to feel a balance
I just want to do right by you
Sitting safe beside the truth
Beside you
Watch out for my bullshit
Everybody's got it
Careful as a soldier we're so strong
Begging my new teacher
Thought you'd never reach her
She's standing there in front of you
It's twice as hard to fool us
It's twice as hard to fool us
Careful as a soldier we're so strong

And you walked out when I asked you to stay
As usual you will get your way
You closed the door and stumbled down to the street
Where you wring your hands
And you drag your feet there
Where the words can't find you
To crawl inside you
I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell you
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try till the morning
But you can't hide standing under these stars
They know everything, they know where you are
You're in your head, you're all turned around with it
And they're shining down their light to bring you back again
Back where I can find you
To crawl inside you
I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell you
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try till the morning
All you want to see is make believe
It's nothing but way down underneath
I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful you don't hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell you
Careful or you'll hurt yourself

I settle down a twisted up frown
Disguised as a smile, well, you would have never known
I had it all, but not what I wanted
'Cause hope for me was a place uncharted and overgrown
You'd make your way in
I'd resist you just like this
You can't tell me to feel
The truth never set me free
So I did it myself
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more
More, more, more, more
Open your eyes like I open mine
It's only the real world, life you will never know
Shifting your way to throw off the pain
Well, you can ignore it, but only for so long
You look like I did
You resist me just like this
You can't tell me to heal
And it hurts remembering
How it felt to shut down
Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more
More, more, more, more
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
So I'll do it myself
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out
Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
You won't come any closer
You've got to reach out more

Every year, exactly this time of year
They go up, balloon up into the air,
And hold onto one who is near
Remember everything is here
[x2]
Every year about this time of year
I am with you as if you are here,
I remember the way it fell through
You and all we all could do
[x2]
I hope that you will be careful
The stories you told are hopeful
I hope that they aren't just artful

Careful in the kitchen
Says the man in red
He knows exactly where to hang his head
Someones in the bedroom
Playing with the lamp
Love is like her hair beneath the curtain soiled and damp
Isn't she so beautiful
In her baby blues
I'll be over when I know
That she's all over you
I can hear the ticking
Of the cuckoo clock
I can see you hiding in the shadow of her locks
She don't really love you
She don't understand
What she's got between the precious creases of her hands
Life becomes the poet
Messing with her words
In the margin soft and blurred
Time is my complexion
Love is my parade

Crying in the inside, so many men but so unhappy
I gave my love to any man who smiled at me
I played the game of love with no rules
And when it was all over, I was the fool
Some how I had to get it right just on time
For once in my life, I was careful
For once in my life, showed me how much you care and I'm so grateful
For once in my life, I'm so glad I was careful
For once in my life, now I have a love a so sweet and I'm so thankful
With a closed heart, never let emotions tear me apart
I had to have the upper hand to be cruel, to be hard
I didn't care to man, oh, oh
I was still hurting inside hanging on to pride
I just about died when you found me and gave me good love
And now I know I did the right thing
For once in my life, I was careful
For once in my life, showed me how much you care and I'm so grateful
For once in my life, I'm so glad I was careful

Sunshine on your upturned face,
Everything falls into place
Blue sky above, sand underfoot
The happiest I have seen you look.
Sunrise stirs the low landscape,
More beauty than your breath can take,
Boats out to sea, gulls in the air,
I might look as if I didn't care.
Careful with me, careful with my heart,
The world keeps turning, my world falls apart,
When you're out of reach from me
When you're out of reach from me
Fool or wise no inbetween
I've been both and I can't win
If this love should suffer sudden death,
It won't be because I'm not myself
I don't forget
I depend upon
the simple fact you turn my heart
over,over,over,over,over.
Careful with me, careful with my heart,
The world keeps turning, my world falls apart,
When you're out of reach from me
