Careless With Your Heart.

Words: John Paragreen Music: Ian Ferrin
2006 Paragreen & Ferrin

Don't know why I flew of the handle
Don't know what was in my head
But I regret every thing I did
And I regret every word I said

Slamming doors and storming out
Calling you that awful name
I'm sorry I acted that way
My heart is filled with shame.


chorus
Tell me what can I say,
what can I do, to make it up to you
Please tell me where to start
Please forgive me,
Never again will I be
Careless with your heart.


I was wrong to ignore your feelings
And tell you that I don't care
To make such a fuss over money
Was being thoughtless and unfair

I've learned you mean more to me
Than anything money can buy
If I live another hundred years
I hope I never see you cry.


chorus
Tell me what can I say,
what can I do, to make it up to you
Please tell me where to start
Please forgive me,
Never again will I be
Careless with your heart.


bridge
One day the birds may forget how to fly
And the grass may forget how to grow
But I promise a day will never arrive
When I repeat that cruel fiasco.


chorus
Tell me what can I say,
what can I do, to make it up to you
Please tell me where to start
Please forgive me,
Never again will I be
Careless with your heart.
