|
You really gave me hell, big talker |
|
Polluted the well |
|
You really spoke your mind, big talker |
|
At least your mind at the time |
|
Now I'm wearing your words, big talker |
|
Like necklaces and rings |
|
Just glad it wasn't me, big talker |
|
That said all those things |
|
Never before could I picture |
|
Even one foot out the door |
|
Careless words, careless words |
|
Say no more |
|
But now that that door has been opened |
|
It can never be closed |
|
Careless words, careless words |
|
I can never unknow |
|
I can never unknow |
|
Tried to keep my heart pure, big talker |
|
But it came out stained |
|
Tried to stay in love, big talker |
|
But instead I'm in pain |
|
I learned as a child, big talker |
|
Just shut the whole thing down |
|
That polluted well, big talker |
|
That whole polluted town |
|
And never before could I picture |
|
Even one foot out the door |
|
Careless words, careless words |
|
Say no more |
|
But now that that door has been opened |
|
It can never be closed |
|
Careless words, careless words |
|
I can never unknow |
|
I can never unknow |
|
No sleep for me, big talker |
|
Just one long migraine |
|
One that sparks and flares, big talker |
|
When I say your name |
|
Where went your love? big talker |
|
Cuz that's where I go |
|
I'm no longer here, big talker |
|
I'm searching high and low |
|
And never before could I picture |
|
Even one foot out the door |
|
Careless words, careless words |
|
Say no more |
|
But now that that door has been opened |
|
It can never be closed |
|
Careless words, careless words |
|
I can never unknow |
|
You can never unknow |
