Careless Lyrics

Lyric discussion by howtobegood 

Cover art for Careless lyrics by Amos Lee

this song is about a man who was with a woman he really loved, but she cheated on him with or left him for his best friend. the song is directed to the best friend, and is about his remorse about losing the friend as well as the girlfriend. he's saying he should've known, and that he hopes it was worth it in the friend's mind.

also, i think the lyric is "in turn lost each other" not "in time"
