Careful

There’s a truth hidden deep in every heart
Buried beneath lies and misconceptions
With charm planted up on top to cover up the rough spots
Your caught somewhere in the middle
Of who you are and who you want to be
The path is tricky, steep, and dark
Careful not to slip and fall

Careful not to lose it all
No one knows and no one would care anyway
All you want is a little love
But you’re so misunderstood
Careful are they’ll see that you want more
Careful are you’ll get burned

Thoughts speed by on this roller coaster life of mine
I scream my lungs out and at the end of the ride
I don’t have a voice to tell you why
It’s a vicious circle of ½ truths and little white lies
A pinch of misdirection
A smidgen of diversion
And you’re safe again
A mask of perfection
Careful not to drop it

Careful not to lose it all
No one knows and no one would care anyway
All you want is a little love
But you’re so misunderstood
Careful are they’ll see that you want more
Careful are you’ll get burned

Be careful to protect yourself
Don’t get your hopes to high
You’ll just be disappointed in the end
Be careful or every one will discover your only human
Discover you want love
Just like me and just like them
So be careful…
