Careless Lyrics

thrown under the train
i couldn't see it coming
but i feel the pain
tied to the tracks
slowly dying fast
but i would do it all again for you my love
but nothing that i do is ever good enough

so maybe i shouldn't be so careless
of what i give away
but i dont believe in being cautious
so i surrender
every ounce of my courage
every bit of my breath
but you couldn't care less

i fell over my feet
you are the only one that trips me out complete
under my skin
that is where you are and where you've always been
so long since i have had to fight for love
and even if i win im gonna lose too much

so maybe i shouldn't be so careless
of what i give away
but i dont believe in being cautious
so i surrender
every ounce of my courage
every bit of my breath
but you couldn't care

and i cannot forgive you for your touch
to give me just a taste is not enough
so maybe i shouldn't be so careless
of what i give away
but i dont believe in being cautious
so i surrender
every ounce of my courage
every bit of my breath
but you couldn't care less
you couldn't care less
no you couldn't care less

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
