Amos Lee - Careless lyrics

You speak of love

But you ain't no lover

You were a friend

More like a brother

As the miles pass beneath me

The sounds made so sweetly came to an end

And no man can deny her but now you're a liar

And you've no room left to defend

When I left

I should have known better

Of the kind of man that you are

You'd have to get her

And I know you got a lot of pain

That's born inside you

Oh, and instead of growing stronger

You let it divide you, oh

How could you be so careless?

How could you be so careless?

And the waves that are crashing

True lives of passion washing on your shore

Yes sir, life has been costing

A true love's been lost

And I can't get back anymore

And I'm sure

That we both still love her

And it's a shame we both lost her

And in time lost each other

But a trust has been broken

And words have been spoken

But you can mend

And no man can deny her

And as you laid beside her

I hope it felt good, my friend

How could you be so careless?

How could you be so careless?

How could you be so careless with her heart?
