[Verse 1]

I've been brooding for the past few weeks

Never finding the answers I seek

Always staying in a fit of pique

My chances of healing anytime soon seem bleak

I acclimate to all the changes around me

Thinking of situations that all could be

Possible if things turned out differently

If decisions I made were less crappy

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And I know things don’t always work out how I want them to

But I can't stop blaming myself

Even though I don't know if any of this is my fault

I still think It’d be better

Only if I was

A little less

[Chorus]

Careless

If I was less careless

I wouldn't be so hopeless

Things wouldn't have turned disastrous

If I was less careless

My anguish wouldn't be so relentless

My tribulation seems endless

All because I was careless

All because I was careless

[Verse 2]

And I still can't get over my idiocy

I don't get help anymore, all I get is sympathy

I'm trying not to crack to best of my ability

All I even do is walk around dismally

Everything occurs in complete synchrony

Nothing ever seems to be in fixity

And I'm handling it all quite miserably

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Nothing ever seems to work out

Nothing ever seems to work

Nothing ever seems to work out the way

I want it to work out

I want it to work out

Maybe it would if I was less

[Chorus]

Careless

If I was less careless

I wouldn’t be so hopeless

Things wouldn’t have turned disastrous

If I was less careless

My anguish wouldn't be so relentless

My tribulation seems endless

All because I was careless

All because I was careless

[Bridge]

My carelessness cost me

And all my screw ups accost me

And I seem to be abstracted

Just really distracted

From everything

And everyone

I’ve been brooding for the past few weeks

Never finding the answers I seek

Always staying in a fit of pique

My chances of healing anytime soon seem bleak

And all because I was

[Chorus]

Careless

If I was less careless

I wouldn't be so hopeless

Things wouldn't have turned disastrous

If I was less careless

My anguish wouldn't be so relentless

My tribulation seems endless

All because I was careless

All because I was careless
