Careful What You Wish For

CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR They met by chance one lonely night Each sending out a spark of light Hoping it would start a flame Underneath their cloud of rain Picking their hearts up off the floor Be careful what you wish for They spent time together hand and hand Talking deep and making plans Walking on the same side of the street Wondering why it took so long to meet Turning love into an open door Be careful what you wish for Independent urges rise Clouds roll into sunny skies What's mine is yours and yours is mine Compromise and love is blind Commitment cuts you to the core Be careful what you wish for She loves him but doesn't know How to love and let love go She holds on to him so tight Tries to keep him within her sight In her head his lies roar Be careful what you wish for He wants to turn and walk away Doesn't think he can stand another day Of her needing his everything O how her suspicion stings He can't give her anymore Be careful what you wish for People tell me love is the key To living this life happily Here are my cautious words of advice Remember to always think twice Before making a choice that could start a war Be careful what you wish for
