Careful

I settled down, a twisted up frown
Disguised as a smile, well you would've 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 opened mine
It's only the real world, a life you will never know
Shifting your weight 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
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more, more, more, more, more
