Is it wrong to want something you can't have?
It is terrible to want you so bad?
Should I run to you when you're not there?
Should I reach for you and get only air?
Receive nothing for all I've done
You'd think you'd see that I'm the one
But I believe there's more to be said
I won't rest until I'm dead

Be careful with your life my love
Every breath you take
Is another smile you'll fake
Another day you'll keep me waiting
And every day we keep aging

I could let this struggle slip away
I could walk away and not fear another day
Another day I'd have to face without you
But I'd rather have fear than forget about you
And I wonder why you glow
Keep shining I just have to know
All your secrets and your lies
Maybe someday I won't have these ties

Be careful with your life my love
Keep your secrets close by
Don't sell them so you can cry
Wishing you could take it all back
Don't make my mistakes
I want you to live a better day

Crawling through the shadow of your fame
I know you can't see me in this dark
But someday I'll break free of my pain
Someday you'll fix my broken heart
Someday somehow I'll find a way
Just not today

Be careful with your life my love
Every day I hear your voice my heart skips a beat
Every time I see your face it's another memory
Of my invisibility to you
Be careful with my life
Every second we age
And you drift farther away
Be careful with my heart
You hold it in your hands though you don't want it
(But you can't stand to say no)
Take a breath and fake a smile
You pretend I should stay a while
