lyrics

I was dreaming such a usual scene about my love and me
Walking to the coast alone
But I was acting very foolishly
Making serious things into stupid little jokes I know
We saw people sitting by the beach and the ships at sea
But no one was on their own
I was acting very recklessly
You took hold of me saying loneliness is not a joke
But it was not you
It was not you
Careful with the careless heart
Careful with the careless heart
Join public with the downtown heat in the crooked streets
The buildings that are made of clay
I was choking on my broken teeth
Trying to chew my grief
Sick of fasting everyday
We saw people driving down those streets
And the beggars on their knees
No one was on their
But I was acting very recklessly
You took hold of me saying loneliness is not a joke
Careful with the careless heart
Careful with the careless heart
