Senna-Marie, Ryan Schultze - Careless People 03:54
lyrics

Careless people and their coffee stains On my bed this morning but I feel no shame From the stranger's arms How they tried hold me And the sweating palms Though they failed to know me It's not plain to see When everybody's walking round so casually Curtains drawn behind their eyes so I can't see Careless people walked into my memories while I was half asleep Careless people gonna walk away Before you make the bed, Forgetting yesterday But it was nothing more And it's not less Than it was before When it was in our heads It's not plain to see When everybody's walking round so casually Curtains drawn behind their eyes so I can't see Careless people walked into my memories while I was half asleep And the time it takes to clean up Is it worth the mess between us? Oh the time it takes to clean up after you No the time it takes to clean up It's not worth the mess between us Oh the time it takes to clean my mind of you Careless people don't know what to say When they drop the plate No they'll just look away Careless people don't know what to say When they drop the plate No they'll just look away Careless people don't know what to say When they drop the plate No they'll just look away

lyrics

When I look at you, I know just what to do 'Cause loving always came easy to me when it came to you But breathing is a lovers disease And I'm heaving and wheezing Like your smoke in the evening I'm no good at needing you Not even while the night turns blue When you look to me, I know just who I wanna be 'Cause loving always came easy to you when it came to me But dreaming is a lover's defeat And I'm bleeding not healing Like the cracks in our ceiling I'm no good at leaving you Not even for an hour or two So please don't leave Don't go losing yourself On account of me Don't say it's what I need 'Cause I've unlocked my mind Unlocked the places where I used to hide Unlocked the doors that I left behind And I won't lock up till you're inside When I look at you, I know just what to do 'Cause loving always came easy to me when it came to you But needing is a lover's deceit And I'm hearing you breathing Like you're tryna get even I'm no good at pleasing Not even if you say I do So please don't leave Don't disagree Just to be free If you were me I'd say do as you please But don't be naïve And leave if you need (Just leave if you) Please don't leave Don't go losing yourself On account of me Don't say it's what I need And don't be naïve And leave if you need Just leave if you please

Power runs the land and people I saw a child run up hill up hill People run the land and power I saw a child become a coward One to the other She said I think that it's a crime For me to look in the mirror And keep passing on the lie You gotta Get Up Face Up Stand Up Put your body on the line One to the other He said time is on my side I think that speed is a killer When you're rushing to be right You gotta Release Make peace Feel free There's only so much you can fight Fence watcher Fence jumper Which side of the wall Do you fall? Fence sitter Fence quitter Coins up and you know it's your call? Fence joker Fence poker You know you can't not choose No you can't not choose in war One to the other She said I don't think you understand You might not know any better But the children will when we choose to take a stand You see no one's immune Tables could turn too soon for you Greed and fear are a coward's tears Fence watcher Fence jumper Which side of the wall Do you fall? Fence sitter Fence quitter Coins up and you know it's your call? Fence joker Fence poker You know you can't not choose in war No you can't not choose in war One to the other He said I think you're making assumptions You're trying to change what I think But my thoughts are not up for discussion And all I'm trying to say is There are other ways To pay for yesterday To break a cycles of pain You've got to change up the game Winning theirs won't win back your name Trust is an idea Faith is a wager Truth is the story that I tell myself So I can fall asleep Can fall asleep Fence watcher Fence jumper Which side of the wall Do you fall? Fence sitter Fence quitter Coins up and you know it's your call? Fence joker Fence poker You know you can't not choose No you can't not choose in war Power runs the land and people I saw a child run up hill up hill People run the land and power I saw a child become a coward

lyrics

I left my baby on the side of the road He told me maybe we've been driving too long I said it feels like we're a long way from home He said it feels like I'm not listening no more I stopped the car and put my hand over his He squeezed it twice like a toy made for kids Got out the door and he blew me a kiss I get the point now can't we talk about this And Time sits on my back seat When I've got no place to go And I've been pulling my teeth Thinking of what went wrong He kept on walking like he knows where to go If you're not coming I'll be parked down the road And so I left him there to be on his own Foolish of me to think it's in my control So I pulled over at a roadside garage This way he'll find me cause he'll see it's my car And when the hours passed I wondered how far What could have happened oh what's taking so long And Time sits on my back seat When I've got no place to go And I've been pulling my teeth Thinking of what went wrong What went wrong So, I drove back to the place where I'd left Nothing like sorry when you're feeling regret But then he passed me and I'll never forget I tried to wave but our eyes never met And Time sits on my back seat When I've got no place to go And I've been pulling my teeth Thinking of what went wrong What went wrong
