about

“Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, and don’t put up with people that are reckless with yours.”

― Kurt Vonnegut

lyrics

v1:
You know I'm a criminal, don't you?
Don't you?
It may be subliminal, but some things you just can't see through
It's time to wake up & fight
But something tells me that ain't right

ch:
Did I have to be reckless
Why'd I try to leave you... breathless
I skipped over the kindness
You should've settled for nothing less
You should've settled for nothing less

v2:
You didn't have to be so kind, did you?
Did you?
How long until you find, some lies you just can't fly through
You never said a single word
You had a bridge that needed burning

ch:
Did I have to be reckless
Why'd I try to leave you... breathless
I skipped over the kindness
You should've settled for nothing less
You should've settled for nothing

br:
I never thought to be scared
Wasn't what you'd call self-aware
Always running, always bound for somewhere
Somewhere

-- guitar/harmonica fantasy --

v1.5:
You know I'm a criminal, don't you?
Well, don't you?

ch:
Did I have to be reckless
Why'd I try to leave you... breathless
I skipped over the kindness
You should've settled for nothing less

ch:
Did I have to be reckless
Why'd I try to leave you... breathless
I skipped over the kindness
You should've settled for nothing less
You should've settled for nothing less
